Teotitlán del Valle is a Zapotec town famous for the artisanal elaboration of wool mats dyed with natural dyes. This textile tradition has been handed down for generations and is one of the most representative in the region. Mats are woven on pedal looms, introduced by the Spanish in the 16th century, but the designs and techniques have pre-Hispanic roots. Artisans use natural dyes extracted from plants and insects, such as indigo for blue tones, cochineal grain for reds and cempasúchil for yellows. Mat designs vary from geometric patterns inspired by Mitla’s grecas to depictions of natural elements and modern figures. Each piece is unique and can take weeks or even months to complete, depending on its size and complexity.
