Preserving Ancestral Craftsmanship
The waist loom is an ancient weaving technique used by Mesoamerican cultures for centuries. Artisans carefully intertwine wool threads on a wooden loom, securing one end to a tree or post and the other around their waist. This intricate process creates deeply textured, one-of-a-kind designs, preserving cultural heritage in every stitch. While mass-produced imitations have flooded the market, each of these handmade rugs tells a story of authenticity, dedication, and tradition.
