Weavers of Teotitlán del Valle
What natural dies have you and your family discovered on your own?
We have discovered two dies; one from chamomile to make yellowish-browns and another from Brazilian wood for bright orange colors.
How many hours a day do you all work?
From 4am to 9pm while trading on off to help cook, clean, sell and other chores.
Do you use the tedious wool to thread processing for chastisement for your children as it was done in your day?
Absolutely!
Who gathers the different natural ingredients for the dyes?
The whole family goes out to gather, especially for the most difficult to obtain things like Mossgose.
What foreign materials do you import?
We consistently import cashmere and wool.
