@loopsofyarnstudio: Discovering Guatemala’s Textile Traditions 🇬🇹🧶 During my trip to Guatemala, I had the chance to discover something truly special in San Juan La Laguna, on the shores of Lake Atitlán. We visited Casa del Tejido y Tours, a local textile workshop where Rosa kindly walked us through the fascinating process of traditional textile making, from spinning cotton into yarn to creating beautiful colors with natural dyes, preparing the threads, and finally weaving on a traditional backstrap loom. As someone who loves working with yarn, I was absolutely fascinated by the craftsmanship, patience, and incredible skill involved in every step. What makes these textiles even more special is the knowledge passed down through generations, keeping a rich cultural heritage alive. This experience was a beautiful reminder of how much history, creativity, and human skill can live in a single piece of fabric. Thank you everyone at Casa del Tejido y Tours, for sharing your knowledge and this wonderful living tradition with us! ❤️ https://casadeltejidoytours.org #MayanTextiles #BackstrapWeaving #atitlanguatemala #casadeltejidoytours #knittingcommunity
