Milas Carpets have been woven in the Milas district since centuries.  Origins of some motifs go back to Ottoman times. Milas is also an important tobacco growing center in the Aegean region. Tobacco leaf is used to make vegetable dyes. Dominant colours of these carpets usually contain a mosque niche, are dark yellow and light brown. A high quality, hand spun, silky fine wool is used in warp and weft as well as knots. With its pastel colours, it is a very decorative carpet.
