In the district of Sındırgı, Balıkesir, 63-year-old Ali Uyar, has been making besom brooms for 34 years. He was doing every step of the cultivation, care, harvesting and tying of the broom by himself despite the developing technology. Many places in Turkey, brooms being done but have no piling in There was pile driving on brooms made in Emendere. The piled broom was strong, unshakable and unbreakable. After the pile was driven, it was pinched and stitched. The threads sewn were cotton threads used in tobacco. The threads are dyed red and black and sewn after that. Although the nylon thread is easy to sew and does not break, it spoils the broom over time. On the other hand cotton thread does not shrink the broom because it is natural, and remains the same as it was sewn. Ali Uyar used the knitting machine for broom for the first time.
