ZAPOTEC RUGS OF TEOTITLAN DEL VALLE


EL TONO DE LA COCHINILLA is a small house in Teotitlan del Valle where you must visit .

All the exhibited pieces are hand made from start to finish.

The family has been working with woolen rugs for 4 generation and of course their work is full of tradition .In each of their weavings you first notice the prehispanic designs, then the ingredients to be used for dyes are 100% natural that they are able to extract from the materials around them such as animals,plants as specific flowers and fruits.Dyes are very important to the special beauty of the family tapestries and the pure natural origin of dyes.
