Abstract :Between 2021 and 2023, ethnobotanical research was conducted to investigate the utilization of natural dye plants used in Sındırgı Yağcıbedir carpets, the techniques employed in natural dyeing, and the plant species from which wood materials for weaving are sourced. The primary goal of this research was to identfy the natural dye plants traditionally used by the people of Sındırgı district. Through interviews with local informants, traditional plant names, the plant parts utilized for dye extraction, the colors obtained, and the specific applications of these dyes were documented. The results revealed the usage of 11 plant species belonging to 10 families as sources of dyestuff. However, it was noted that one of these plant species is not of Anatolian origin and is employed in powdered form. Various plant parts such as roots, shoots, cupula, bark, and other above-ground components are employed in the dye extraction process, with one plant mixture identified for mordanting purposes.
