We got this shipment of hand-woven Oaxaca rugs just in time for the holidays. Even if you are celebrating small (and we hope you are), these floor coverings (or display them as wall hangings) are a great decor enhancer for a fresh, new look. Made in Oaxaca, Mexico, by Taller Teñido a Mano on a 2-harness treadle loom, these tapestries are versatile and sturdy.
What makes these rugs special?
- Our artisans use only naturally-dyed churro sheep wool
- The wool is hand-carded and spun with the malacate — drop spindle
- Dye materials include cochineal, indigo, wild marigold, wood bark, pomegranate (to name a few)
- Our artisans dye the wool themselves — this is a slow process that yields amazing, vibrant and strong colors
- The weaver uses his imagination to create unique, one-of-a-kind textiles
- Designed in Oaxaca — made to last a lifetime
We also have Face Masks dyed with indigo, walnut and wild marigold, along with several skeins of cotton thread (3-1/2 ounces / 100 grams) dyed with indigo and wild marigold — perfect for weaving or embroidery.
Please place your order quickly to receive by December 24, 2020. Thanks so much.
