    Story Behind the Art:

    Mario Chavez says, 'I come from a family of weavers. The process starts with the wool -- we shear the sheep twice a year. Then it's washed and carded by the women. We thread and dye it with natural colorants such as cochineal, walnut tree bark and local flowers. We thread the wool on the pedal looms and commence weaving. To finish, we roll up the loose threads and tie them into knots. Finally, we check the rug to make sure it is of good quality and has no imperfections.'

Lovely rug

lasita from Denver, Oct 11, 2009

I purchased this after looking at similar rugs in a local import shop where the price was almost twice as much. The colors are exactly as shown in the picture. It is a lovely addition to my guest bathroom which has southwest decor.
