The most famous and biggest handicraft industry of Turkey is rug and carpet making. Rug and carpet making started because of geographical necessity and it gradually developed into the biggest source of income and the way to show the skills of the people. These kilims, rugs and carpets can be differentiated by their way of making, symbolization, materials used in their creation, designs and motifs, cultural and geographical inclinations and their intended use. Now most women and girls take up rug weaving as a means of making money.
