Indigo Steps Wool Rug

Size 24″ x 40″ — hand woven by Eric Chavez Santiago in his Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca, weaving and design studio. This rug is 100% churro sheep dyed with accents of indigo blue and un-dyed natural wool, hand-spun on the drop spindle by women in Chichicapan in the Oaxaca highlands where the fleece is rich and thick. Soft to walk on, a perfect accent piece for bathroom, bedroom, or by the kitchen sink!  Or, hang it on the wall as a tapestry for a stunning visual.  Textile has tied fringes on the edges.  Eric learned to weave from his mother and father, starting at age 8 years old. His aesthetic focuses on color and graphic elements that are inspired by the symbolism in ancient archeological sites. Eric is also the managing partner of Oaxaca Cultural Navigator LLC.
