The Turkish carpet that I purchased in Avanos has arrived! Because it's made of wool and cotton, the pattern is intricate, making it more valuable than a solid wool carpet. The reverse side, in fact, is nearly as lovely as the front. Woven in Kaysuri by the Yun Bunyan family (Turkish-Armenian), the design is a medallion surrounded by an arabesque motif. I knew I liked it the minute I saw it in the weaving demonstration room, but had no idea that it would be within my budget. Indeed, it is lovely.
