About this item: Carmen Ruiz combines rich shades of purple, lilac and violet for the design of this warm king size bedspread. Featuring off-white contrasts, the cotton yarn is dyed with natural pigments. Ruiz weaves the bedspread on a telar de chicote (whip loom), just like her parents taught her. This type of loom was introduced to Zapotec communities by the Spanish. - All natural dyes - Dry clean only - Hand-crafted item color, size and/or motif may vary slightly About our Artist: 'Born in the weaving village of Teotitlan del Valle, I specialize in creating accessories on the traditional loom. My parents taught me how to weave when I was 15 years old, and the first piece I worked on was a rebozo shawl, which I gave to my mom as a Mother's Day gift,' Carmen Ruiz recounts. 'I've been weaving since the 1980's, and in 2002 I started my own workshop where I specialize in shawls and bedspreads. The most challenging aspect of starting on my own was having a place where I could exhibit my creations.'
