Turkey is a land of many handicrafts and amazing things. From pots and pans, to hand woven carpets to Turkish textiles. Turkey is renowned for its textiles. What Turkey is really famous for when it comes to textiles is it's cotton textiles. These cottons are grown with lots of care according to Turkish ancient ways and are turned into textiles. 
Turkey produces a vast selection of textiles, ranging from lightweight summer fabrics to ornately embroidered velvet. Basically, there is a textile for everyone in Turkey. Here are different kinds of textiles in Turkey:
Şile bezi
It basically means summer months, therefore it is an extra airy and lightweight cotton fabric that is turned into summer dresses. Named after Şile, the seaside region north of Istanbul proper, the fabric has traditionally been produced by local rural women who wash the fabric in the Black Sea and lay it to dry out on the beach itself. Turkish cotton is also used to create colorful pashminas. Decorated with a classic "evil eye" charm, you can find peshtemals in every color of the rainbow in Turkey. You can find this fabric basically anywhere in Turkey, as well as at the Şile Yeryüzü Pazarı, held Fridays and Sundays, and specializing in locally produced food products and textiles.
Denizli dokuması

These fabrics are known for being moisture absorbent and breathable and come in an array of colors obtained from natural dying methods using walnut leaves, onion skins, sumac and acorns as well as many other herbal, root and plant sources.
