 The rugs are named after the nomad tribe Karakecili (meaning Blackgoat) of which’s members mostly settled and currently live in southeast Anatolia. Karakeci rugs have kept their originality of weaving, dying techniques and structure of motifs coming from the nomadic period of Karakecili tribe.
Thanks to a weaving technique where a ‘vertical line is formed between the wefts of each neighboring motifs’ both sides of a Karakeci rug can be used for decorative as well as flooring purposes. 
The materials used to weave Karakeci rugs are :
- Vertical weaving frames,
- Threads made of purely wool and colored with dyes,
- Kirkit, known as the comb-like utensil to tighten the weft strings made of wood or iron and,
- Scissors to trim the threads at finishing.
