It is a traditional handicraft dating back to the 1700s and made by embroidering silver wire on fabric or tulle with a special needle. The products created by stretching black and red fabric or tulle on a hoop and embroidering the wire are indispensable for the dowries of young girls for centuries. The process is simple and naive, the name comes from breaking the wire with small movements on the wire without using scissors and similar things.

From the past to the present, the weaving looms have met the needs of the local community by producing garments like shirts, underwear, sheets, mattresses, carpets, fustian, towels, oilcloths, wraps, bags, bread cloths, tablecloths, aprons, belts, and more. Weavings have become an indispensable element in daily life and special occasions. They envelop the local community within the embrace of traditional culture from the beginning of life, providing protection against both cold and heat. They symbolize the dowry of young girls, the pride of mothers, the traditions of weddings, the adornment of homes, and are laid upon the deceased women during funerals as a farewell gesture towards eternity. Weavings represent an intangible cultural heritage that has been woven into the fabric of life since its inception, needing to be preserved and passed on to future generations.
