Zapotec rugs sre made with the best quality of 100% sheep wool. The fibers in the wool are carded and then spun by hand. During this process the wool's rich fat called lanolin is felt through the fingers. This wool creates threads that are smooth and very resistant.
Each Zapotec rug is made by hand and features a special design. This makes each and every rug a unique work of art that will only increase in value in years to come. The colors used for the rugs are a blend of special dyes made form a large selection of plants, insects, and minerals. Among these are the Indigo plant, Zacatlaxcalli plant, and the Cochineal bug. This is a part of what makes these Zapotec rugs last so long whiile maintaining their color and texture.
