process of industrialization has been losing its importance and originality.
In Istanbul City, the felt-makers used to make the felt in Turkish bath and sell them to ammunition store , band of musician places, icehouse and dockyard , but it isn't possible to meet any today.
In Konya City, during Seçuklu period , felt- making was very common. There were 124 felt shops in total.
In Afyon City, There were at least 150 workshops making felt.
In Manisa City, There were 50 people who were felt -makers ,but this number fell down to only one shop in 1982.
