A tapestry is traditionally made on a vertical loom. Weaving involves two sets of threads: the warp (the vertical threads placed parallel to each other on the loom) and the weft (the horizontal threads passed through the warp). These two systems of threads intersect at right angles; the warp threads are stretched on the loom, and the weft is woven through them by moving up and down. Unlike regular fabric weaving, where both the warp and weft threads are visible, in tapestries, all the warp threads are hidden, creating a weft-faced fabric. Typically, the weft threads are short, and the weaver works each colored weft thread in its own small design area. To form the design, different-colored weft threads are woven across sections of the warp, creating a flat, weft-faced fabric.

Fırat Neziroğlu's patented weaving technique allows for leaving spaces in the tapestry. Thanks to the knot combinations he developed, his technique brings some of the most realistic visual effects ever achieved in tapestry, and with his unique use of fishing line material, he adds a modern touch to contemporary weaving.

​

When starting a piece, Fırat doesn’t use computer programs or divide the design into grids, which is the traditional method for planning tapestries. He feels that computer assistance and grid systems make designs too static. Instead, he believes dynamic, living, and unpredictable combinations are more fitting for his work.

​

Fırat works solo throughout the entire weaving process, saying, "When a pianist performs on stage, no assistant presses the keys for them."

His technique is taught at universities worldwide, and workshops titled "Weaving Like Fırat Neziroğlu" are held in many countries. His life and personal weaving technique have been the subject of graduate theses in the U.S., Canada, and Egypt, as well as three separate theses in Turkey. His technique is now officially part of academic literature.
