Imagine a country where a large number of contradictions appear on every mile. As you pass by hundreds of fairy chimney towers made from rocks and with desert like sand on the ground, all of a sudden you come across thousands of grape vines for the delicious wines of the area. In a few miles further, you come across the Red River, the longest in AVANOS winding around the fairy chimneys but at this time with lots of greenery around. This is why some of the most interesting and colorful carpets come out from this region. “Avanos,” “Kayseri,” “Yahyali?” and “Taşpinar” are some of the well known carpets of the area.
AVANOS HALI in Cappadocia is at the service for their visitors with its 9500 m2 of workshop and showroom capabilities. The best way of discovering the Turkish culture's adaptation of Anatolian life style is to watch the weaving of carpets step by step. Workshops at our stores provide this opportunity for the visitors. Beginning from the process of silk and wool becoming a yarn to the coloring of them with vegetal dyes and the hand tying knots one by one skillfully and patiently can be all observed. This tradition of carpet weaving that has been continuing for centuries now can be seen at the modern working conditions of our workshops. It gives us a great pleasure to be able to carry on this ancient tradition along with displaying such richness to our visitors at our establishments.
