Pedal Looms
Ajijic, Jalisco
The wooden PEDAL LOOM is a tool that has been part of the elaboration of clothing for a long time. The tool allows the artisan to work with materials like wool, cotton, and acrylate amongst others. In Ajijic, incredible pieces of acrylate and cotton are created. Setting up the loom takes time and dedication, first the roll is assembled with the desired pattern as a base and then yarn by yarn is set up at the loom so that each time the needle passes the loom the textile will be formed.
The patterns can be customized, although the family has a large catalogue of created patterns that you can choose.
Cushions, bed covers, table placemats, table runners, tablecloths and ponchos, are some of the pieces that the family makes.
