Tulu
Tulu rugs are Anatolian carpets known for their long, thick pile and soft texture, often woven by village or tribal groups in Turkey. These rugs are typically simple in design, sometimes featuring minimal patterns or plain fields, and were used for warmth and comfort. Tulu rugs are valued for their tactile quality and rustic appearance. The meaning of the term Tulu in Turkish is long haired. These are rugs woven on the Konya area with a very coarse weave but extremely long pile. The main use of these items was as sleeping mattress. The wool used in these rugs was exceptionally shiny and with the length combination of the pile these rugs look exceptionally lustrous. There are court examples of such rugs. Recently there are many new Tulu rugs available in the Turkish market.
