About The Technique
The Martínez Family has been weaving in the village Teotitlán del Valle for generations. The whole family is involved in the process of creating a single piece, from small cushions to large rugs. Each piece is a labour of love, from locally sourcing the wool, to make the natural materials used for the dye ready, to hand-spinning the wool to finally prepare the pedal loom, which in itself can take weeks depending on the complexity of the design.
