Vasquez family of weavers
The Vasquez family is one of the oldest weaving families in Teotitlán del Valle, México, who pioneered the renaissance of using pre-Hispanic natural dyes on pure wool. They perform all steps by hand, taking the raw material wool to finished rug carding, spinning, dyeing and weaving. Their design are drawn from both modern and ancient Zapotec sources.
