YARN WORKS
The Republic Period witnessed the rapid blooming of the textile industry. As one of its branches, hand weaving has partly survived to this day with the efforts of family businesses and retained the entirety of its hand-crafted quality in production from its origins until the industrial revolution at both national and global level.
However, in line with the requirements of the developing industry, the weaving industry enjoyed a faster growth with the development of the machinery utilized in production and the introduction of chemical dyes.
This development led to the gradual abandonment of traditional weaving based on manpower and handicraft in terms of its production.
Nevertheless, hand weaving in underdeveloped or developing countries has survived to modern days and maintains its functionality to a more extent than in industrialized communities.
