Beautiful and Resistant Table Runners 100% Handmade in Oaxaca, Mexico.

The community of Santo Tomás Jalieza in Oaxaca is known for its traditional Zapotec weaving, telar de cintura, which involves using a backstrap loom to create intricate designs on textiles.

The weavers in this community incorporate bold geometric patterns into their work and, in this case, they used a specific technique known as "aplastado y levantado," or "flattened and lifted," that involves flattening and lifting individual threads to achieve a more detailed and wide pattern in their weaving.
