Saltillo Serape ~ History
1860–1900
Saltillo
In Precolumbian Mexico, cloth was woven of vegetal fibers such as cotton and ixtle, the fiber of the maguey, or agave plant. Simple two-beamed backstrap looms were used, with one beam attached to a post and the other fastened to a strap wrapped around the weaver's waist. With the arrival of the Spaniards in the sixteenth century, new technologies and raw materials, including wool, were introduced to the local weaving industry and the serape style continued to flourish.

*A recreation of textile patterns and color, I tried to keep the pattern original to its historical reference. All color came from plants and minerals in nature.
