Abstract:

This article was prepared on the basis of the technical, material, pattern and color characteristics of the rugs woven by Yüncü yoruk lived in Balıkesir region. The aim of this study is to introduce the kilims of the Yüncü nomads, who are not sufficiently known, to the literature. In addition, it is aimed that the existing fabrics contribute to the researchers and transfer them to the next generations. Field survey was conducted in Balıkesir Yüncü villages. These villages are Yaren, Dallımandıra and Kocaören. The rugs reached as a result of the field research have remained from the family elders. As a result of the increase in migration from the village to the city and the reflections of the social and economic changes, it is determined that the fabric is completely finished in the villages of Balıkesir Yüncü. Besides the artistic value, the Yüncü rugs are also valuable materials.
