This research examines the results of the felting process of plain weave, one of the traditional weaving techniques, from a technical and aesthetic perspective. In the study, screening and trial models were used together; the research was limited to plain weavings and felting techniques. In this context, the relevant literature was reviewed and studies on material behavior and aesthetic transformation as a result of the application of the felting technique on woven surfaces were investigated. In this direction, four sample plain weaves with different yarn and weft counts (single weft, double weft) were produced and felted. In addition, two different designs were created inspired by the natural color, texture and shape diversity of Nallıhan Kuş Cenneti, and the possibilities of integrating the aesthetic appearance of nature with traditional woven surfaces were explored in the designs. After the felting process in sample weavings and designs, the visual changes that occur depending on the weft and warp density and the shrinkage rates that occur after felting were analyzed; the numerical data obtained were presented in tables and explained in detail, supported by images. The results obtained within the scope of the research show that felting is not only a technical process, but also a process that causes formal and textural transformations on woven surfaces. In this respect, the study aims to contribute to contemporary textile practices nourished by tradition.
