| CR Linens brings
you a line of Zapotec hand dyed and woven pillows,
rugs and runners from a family whose
heritage spans hundreds of generations of
fine weavers who passed along the craft and
tradition. In a time when the fine art of
weaving and the cultural identity it
represents is being eclipsed by mass
production, it is a joy to see weavers who
appreciate the gift learned from their
ancestors and take pride in passing along
the knowledge and skills to the next
generation.
The entire weaving process is done by
hand. The wool is painstakingly
carded by hand to produce the wool fiber and
natural dyes are made in large cauldrons
from roots, leaves, nutshells and insects to
produce vibrant colors. |
