A striped handwoven wool textile made in Oaxaca with natural dyes. Magenta, blue, and gold colors intermingle with the cream background making for a stunning versatile piece. Use it as a throw, a shawl around your shoulders, a bed runner. Keep on your couch and on cold nights drape your lap with it. So many uses.

One side of the textile has more warm stripes and then it changes to adding more blue stripes.

The wool used has been hand dyed with natural dyes by the creator before spinning and weaving.

Maker: master artisan dyer and weaver Arturo Hernandez creates his dyes from natural materials such as pericón (marigold), indigo, and cochineal.

Arturo has made many pieces for Modela. He has won awards in Mexico but also in the US. His range of talent about natural dyeing, weaving—both on the pedal loom and the backstrap loom—is immense. He has also exhibited at the International Folk Art Museum in Santa Fe. His son, Martín is also a talented weaver.

Care: Hand wash using a delicate laundry soap in cold water and hang to dry.
