The Sosa family is a Zapotec weaver family from Teotitlan Del Valle Oaxaca dedícated to the elaboration of handmade rugs and tapestries made with sheep wool on a pedal loom, using ancestral prehispanic techniques and natural dyes.   From a very early age around 8 years old the members of the family learn to wash, carding, spin yarn and dye the wool and then to weave. To dye the wool they use natural pigments from plants , insects and minerals , such as cactus insects cochineal, indigo, pericon, rock moss, huizache, pomegranate, walnut leaves. The rugs and tapestries  capture traditional decorative grecas of the pyramids of Mitla, Monte Alban and are inspired by looking at the sky, with the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars .
