Go to Contact →Our hand-woven rugs are entirely handmade using traditional pedal loom techniques. We carefully select and dye the wool — which comes from our own sheep — and finish each piece with meticulous attention to ensure durability and beauty.
See the full process →The wool comes from sheep we raise on our own farm, along with high-quality commercial fibers like Lincoln and Mohave wool. Our dyes are natural, derived from regional plants, insects, and minerals, preserving ancient Zapotec techniques — we also use a wide range of synthetic dyes for more precise, versatile color tones.
Yes, we ship worldwide. Every order is carefully packaged to arrive in perfect condition. Shipping costs vary depending on location and order size.
Yes, we accept custom orders. We'll work with you to choose specific colors, patterns, and sizes to create a piece that fits your space and taste.
Start a Custom Order →Production time depends on the complexity of the design and the size of the rug — on average, a custom rug takes between 4 and 8 weeks. We keep you updated on your order's progress the whole way through.
Avoid prolonged sun exposure, shake it out regularly, and vacuum weekly — the wool's natural lanolin does most of the work.
Full Care Instructions →You can browse and purchase directly on our site. We also attend events and exhibitions across the United States, where you can see our pieces in person and watch the weaving process.
Browse Commercial Rugs →We have a small workshop in Yuma, AZ, where we work through the winter preparing for summer exhibitions. Our farm is in Teotitlán del Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico — where we offer an immersive look at our process and a connection to our native roots.
Visit the Workshop →Yes — visitors can experience our production process up close, including guided tours, a gastronomic experience, and other on- and off-farm activities. Get in touch to schedule a visit.
