Telar de Cintura
Telar de Cintura (to weave from the waist) is a form of weaving that requires the artist to wrap one end of the loom around his or her waist. The weaver then weaves a long narrow or wide (depending on the waist size of the person) stretch of fabric, which is later embroidered with other fabrics, of similar design, to create table cloths, shawls, pillows or bed coverings.
Below is an example of telar de cintura which is available in a variety of forms on our website.

All products come from the state of Chiapas, Mexico, are 100% cotton, and because of the quality of weaving can be washed and used for years with little sign of wear.
