Abstract :Felt, which is one of the leading products of the art of felt making, which is among the Traditional Turkish Handicrafts in Yalvaç, is a special shepherd's clothing that has survived to the present day. It is a cultural symbol that continues without losing its functionality from the past to the present. As in the past, today, when livestock is mentioned, a shepherd comes to mind, and when a shepherd is mentioned, a shepherd comes to mind. It should be accepted as a symbol that resists change for centuries and preserves its functionality among felt products. Yalvaç has a feature that continues to be produced without being affected by the developments in the historical process, without changing and transforming from many traditional products produced by the masters for centuries within the art of felt making. In this article, the historical process, raw materials, tools used in its production, decoration, design and structural features of the rebound felt in Yalvaç, which is one of our traditional handicraft products, will be discussed.
