Büyükköy and Küçükköy known as the village of two brothers named Elder Ali Fahrettin and Little Ali Fahrettin is defined as the centre of Alafaradin weavings. That’s why, the weavings made in this region are thought to be said with the name of “Alafaradin”.

7th, 2020. Twelve samples of flat weave rugs in Büyükköy and Küçükköy were both analysed in terms of colour, motif, raw material, type, size, technique and composition and evaluated by using pictures related with the places. Therefore, defining samples and passing down them from generation to generation with proof has a valuable importance. This research was conducted to record flat weave rugs used extensively by the people of the region and pass down them to future generation. The history of flat weaving, materials used, tools, techniques used, patterns etc. were determined in the context of the research.
