Tulu is the English pronunciation for the Turkish word, "tülü" meaning hairy.Woven by nomads the weaving is more coarse and they use mostly "primitive" designs.Tulu carpets have been traditionally woven on ground looms in panels and stitched together. Nomads used tulu rugs as floor coverings, as bed clothes, as blankets or wall hangings during cold winters.
''Filikli" rugs are a special kind of tulu rug with even longer mohair piles consisting of one or several separate panels that are dyed separately and then hand-sewn together. "Filik" denotes the locks of hair on the sides of kid mohair goats. Once seen as primitive these rugs have become popular collectibles and textile art.
