Ecard 1

Join us during our upcoming Annual Oriental Rug Event featuring over 300 handknotted rugs all made by fairly paid adults, from 2'x3's to 10'x14's. Since our store is not large enough to carry these rugs year round, we host this special event once a year to bring these high quality, fairly traded handknotted rugs to our community from the Main Rug Gallery at Ten Thousand Villages, Ephrata, Pennsylvania.

It's an event not to miss as these fairly traded rugs represent a win-win situation for all — a high quality, fairly priced, handknotted rug for the consumer and a fair-paying, consistent job for artisans.

Introduction to Oriental Rug Seminar
Thursday, September 3 at 6:30 p.m.

Spend an evening learning more about how Oriental rugs are made, from dyeing the wool to tying the fringes and hear how fair trade works to produce high quality while still offering competitive prices for the North American consumer.

Call the store at 919-286-2457 or

Fair Trade Difference

Here at Ten Thousand Villages, we believe in a global economy that is sustainable and fair to everyone involved. This means providing well made, quality products for our customers and a fair, livable income for our artisans. When you purchase a rug through Ten Thousand Villages, you not only acquire a beautiful piece of functional art, you also support lives, culture and education in Pakistan.
