See what we can weave now!

We have been working for nearly two months with master weaver Don Oscar Boj. We have been learning a lot! The most exciting for us is that we have learned how to read weaving drafts, thread our looms in different ways, and thus how to create many different designs. We have been taking notes (that is something new for us, too, since most of us have not had been able to go to school...) and we will be able to build upon this training forever. Here is an example of our new capabilities. We can really envision lots of new weaves. Next week we will begin the second phase of our training -- stay posted!

Perfect Shawl for Fall

We really do enjoy experimenting with different colors. This combination -- of rust with hunter green in our Delfina weave -- came out perfect for fall in the United States. Here in Cajola we do not have a season called fall. We have a season we call summer which is the cold and dry season, November through March; and we have a season we call winter which is warm and very rainy, April through October. But our warm and our cold are not too far apart. In the cold season it can get to the low 30's at night and in the 70's in the afternoon; in the warm season it is in the 50's at night and might be in the 80's in the afternoon. But we like to work towards your market, so here we are ready for fall!
