The Weaving Tradition in Uşak

Uşak's relationship with weaving does not begin in the industrial era; the city is one of the historic centres of Anatolian carpet and kilim production. Sesli Tekstil's story starts on that ground: founded in 1967 with wool yarn production, the company supplied yarn to the hand-woven carpet and kilim sector for many years before moving into its own weaving production.

Machine Weaving vs. Hand Weaving

	Machine woven	Hand woven
Dimensional consistency	High	Varies piece to piece
Pattern repeat	Standard	Every piece unique
Production time	Short	Long
Price	Accessible	High
Suitability for bulk projects	High	Low

The two methods are not alternatives to one another: hand weaving carries collection and artistic value, while machine weaving answers uses that require standard sizes and repeatability.

Quality Criteria

Weave density: the number of wefts per unit length; determines surface body and abrasion resistance
Yarn quality: affects colour fastness and pilling behaviour
Edge finishing: prevents the kilim from opening at the edges
Dimensional stability: prevents rippling in use
