Ixcaco Rebozo 5

//This is a One-of-a-Kind artwork listed on our Artisan Direct section, brought to you straight from the weavers.// Organic local cotton in natural white and heirloom brown variety "ixcaco" are handspun and handwoven on a backstrap loom to make this luscious wrap that is sure to keep you cozy and warm. This is an extra soft piece, and it will only get softer with every wash, as the handspun yarns have been starched for weaving. The warp is handspun cotton in ixcaco and a variety of white cotton dyed with local plants. The weft is also handspun, with white cotton dyed in natural indigo grown and processed by the master's spinner's family.  The brown is the heirloom "ixcaco" (pronounced <ishkako>). This beautiful variety naturally yields less bolls than its white counterpart, and the fibers are also shorter. These factors make ixcaco a less desirable cotton tree to grow under normal conditions. But we think it is absolutely beautiful, and we think you will, too. Hand preparation of
