Casa Don Juan zapotec weavings — Local services in Oaxaca

This place is worth a visit - even if you don't buy a rug, wall piece, pillow cover, towel, or purse! Why? You will get a crash course on how they convert wool, alpaca, or merino into yarn, then the whole dye-ing process, then the weaving/looming process! Lastly, they'll explain what the designs/patterns means.

All you gotta do sit back, relax, and record for Tik Tok/IG purposes. OH, also decide on what to purchase - their work(s) are so good!

And if that wasn't enough they'll give you a card detailing the who, what, when, and where of it all - flexing on your friends and family can't be any easier.
