*Cicim is a traditional Turkish weaving technique that involves interlacing colored pattern threads between the weft and warp to create raised, embroidered-like designs on the fabric's surface. Unlike kilims, cicim textiles often have distinct front and back appearances due to the additional pattern threads. Typically woven in narrow strips called "kanat," these pieces are later sewn together to form larger textiles used as floor coverings, wall hangings, or decorative items. The weaving process is intricate, often requiring two artisans: one managing the pattern and warp threads from the front, and another guiding the pattern threads from the back. Motifs in cicim weavings range from geometric shapes to representations of animals, plants, and symbolic figures, reflecting the cultural heritage of various Turkish regions. Vibrant colors like red, blue, green, and yellow are commonly used, often derived from natural dyes. Cicim weavings are categorized based on motif density and weaving technique, including types like "sparse motif cicim," "dense motif cicim," and "weft-faced cicim." These textiles not only showcase the artisans' skill but also serve as a testament to Turkey's rich weaving traditions.
