Natural dyeing has been carried out as an ancestral art for hundreds and hundreds years in Turkey. Natural dyeing has been applied at high level by Turks and it has thus constituted a sample for natural dyeing all around the world. It is mentioned that 2/3 of the root dye was exported from Anatolia in 1700s. Although nowadays natural painting is decreasing more and more, it is still maintained in some of our regions and herbal dyes are used especially for dyeing wraps and laces in carpets and rugs. That natural dyes are used for rugs and carpets is a reason for preferring these traditional rugs and carpets that have artistic value. Especially these rugs and carpets can easily be marketed in domestic and international markets and sold at special prices and they yield to income. When rugs and carpets are to be dyed, some plants' bodies are used as a whole and some plants' flowers, grains, leaves, shells of trunks, fruit shells, shoots growing inwards, roots etc are used.
