Delivery EstimateAdd a very special touch to your dining table or entryway console with this delicately crafted cotton runner. Carmen Ruiz hand-looms it from 100% cotton using a traditional treadle loom and decorates it with striped and geometric patterns. She uses natural dyes to create a subdued palette that mixes dark brown, white, and burnt sienna tones. The textile is finished with a macramé fringe on both ends.
The artisan was born into Teotitlan del Valle's rich Zapotec textile traditions. She works using traditional techniques and natural materials and dyes that she sources locally.
