Backstrap Liso Weaving

Our elegant liso design pieces have been handwoven on a backstrap loom. Liso weaving, also called simple backstrap weaving, is the first technique that Mayan girls typically already start to learn at the age of seven. To produce one yard of fabric sewn into one pillow case, the artisan needs approximately 3 days of part time work.
