This rug's warp and weft are cotton, and the knots are wool yarn. The yarn is entirely hand-made using a spinning wheel. The wool yarn used in the knots is dyed with root dyes, meaning natural materials. For example, to obtain red, the wool yarn is boiled with rose petals, and the yarn takes on the color of the rose petal; yarns dyed in this way are called root-dyed yarns. Rugs made from root-dyed yarns develop a brighter appearance with use. On the other hand, this rug is a high-quality rug in terms of weaving density and is woven using the Turkish knot, or double knot technique; thanks to this feature, it is more durable and has a longer lifespan compared to Persian rugs. Finally, approximately 450,000 hand knots were made in the weaving of this rug.

2- THE HISTORY OF CARPETS
The production of Veziri carpets began in the 16th century. As the name suggests, these carpets were generally used in the homes and rooms of Ottoman Viziers. Used in the palaces and residences of the Viziers, these carpets reflect the aesthetic understanding of Ottoman carpet weaving. They were produced in the Uşak, Hereke, and Kayseri regions, which were centers of carpet weaving at that time. Today, Veziri carpets, featuring more colorful and diverse motifs, complement both modern and classic furniture.
3- CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Carpet cleaning varies depending on the carpet's material and the type of dirt. Since this carpet is made from wool yarn dyed with natural dyes, chemical carpet shampoos or detergents should not be used. If any liquid is spilled on this carpet, first rinse the affected area thoroughly with a paper towel; then, lather up a bar of white soap and wipe the area with a cloth. It is also important to remember that immediate action is crucial when something is spilled on the carpet. If the spilled liquid remains on the carpet for a long time without being wiped away, the stain will penetrate the warp and become much more difficult to remove. Finally, we recommend that you entrust the cleaning of this carpet to a professional carpet cleaner you trust who specializes in hand-woven carpets.
