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.
