Weaving Feeds Families!
The sale of one shawl can feed a family of five for a
month.
Each shawl is hand-made and sold with a picture of the weaver and her story.
Wool rebozos/shawls sell for $150.
The cotton ones sell for $125.
Because each of the weavings is a unique and special piece, there is some slight variation in the size. Cotton are approximately 26" x 70" - generous as shawls or non itchy throws. Wool comes in two sizes, approximately 55" x 52" and 26" x 80". They make wonderful throws for cool winter nights and are perfect for wrapping up outside or in front of the fire.

The price for the shawls is calculated by the following method:
1. Cost of materials
2. Wages of $5.00 per day to weavers (Minimum wage in Mexico)
3. Handling $18.50 (shipping, cleaning and packaging).
4. 20% to the weaving
cooperative for development.
