Özet

Karnavas fabric is woven in Ormanağzı Village of Olur District of Erzurum Province and takes its name from Karnavas, the old name of the village. Karnavas is one of the regions that formed its cultural identity with its weaving. Karnavas fabric and cecimi show characteristic features of the region. Karnavas fabric woven only in this village is used as a headscarf by the women of the village. The region's interest in weaving dates back to ancient times. While wool was used in weaving in the past, it is understood from the wool-woven Karnavas headscarves that came out of the old chests that cotton was used in the region with the arrival of cotton. Although dyes were obtained from natural materials and plants in the past, artificial dyes are used today.
