4-Kargı Fabric

Kargı Fabric weaving , one of the most important handcrafts  to be forgotten , is estimated to date back to 80-100 years ago. It is known that Kargı fabric has been woven in our town centre and Kızılırmak Valley (Gökçedoğan, Bağözü, Köprübaşı, Karacaoğlan ) for the clothing needs of people .

It is learnt from the researches that each family has had a system since 1950s and 1960s. These years were the golden era for Kargı fabric. After the development of science and technology , Kargı fabric lost its importance. The researches made by us showed that only one or two old women continue to weav Kargı fabric. We can still find some samples of this fabric in the dowries of old women or newly married young girls.

Kargı fabric weaving has lost its importance compared to its history. The dowry equipments used to be made by the kargı fabric. The kargı fabric weaving is still tried to be continued by some families in Gökçedoğan. In the golden era of weaving , people dealt with cotton and silkworming. They started to produce string and silk on their own. In recent years, the string is bought from factories.
