Taspinar
is a small hamlet in the carpet weaving area of Konya. Taspinar produces excellent carpets of a thick pile, knotted in high quality wool.  

They have a predominantly blue and red field enlivened by delicate motifs in lighter shades.  

The yarn is dyed with natural vegetable dyes by the Caucasian methods.  

Taspinar carpets are among the most beautiful of all Anatolian carpets.  In the old Taspinar carpets the Persian influence can be seen which are plant figures and geometric designs used simultaneously.  However the rich colours and beautifully proportioned somewhat formal design prevent this unusual mixture from displeasing the eye.  Well cared for, old Taspinars have a wonderful silk like quality.  As the lanolin in the wool rises to the surface it gives the pile a soft rich velvety sheen.  New Taspinars are made of the same rich colours as the old ones, but the designs are becoming more varied.  Caucasian and Nomadic patterns have become more regular in recent years.
