CIPO- RFM, Work group

Artesania of wool is but tipico and original that can exist in the region of the High Mixteca of Oaxaca and this aim it has by custom the community of Plan of Zaragoza Nuyoo. By the fact of being the warm part their women do not leave their work if not that was an activity that by necessity of their clothes tenian, that made to dress.
It was a work that dedicated greater part to him of their time, to elaborate his Huipiles (Xi ki), rolls (Xi ' or}, gabanes, (soo "
boundary), cenidores (váatu), rebozos (sama xucu), purses (nu ' nu). The ancestors used threads of virgin wool and cotton, a pequena plant that producia cotton, to make the fine article but for the men like the shirt and the trousers of blanket that called they to him.
The work to elaborate the clothes for the family was work for the women much from trasquile or wool cut, its washing with amole, its drying, when deshebrar the wool requires much patience, also its ironing with pequenos the manual carder and is formed colita of lamb so that asi can be spun with pointed a palito pequeno both sides and the third part has ensartado a pequeno
mud that allows the hilanderas to elaborate its threads.
At the moment from 1995 I form a pequeno group of women Youth to rescue the culture in coordination with the municipal presidency, with a pequeno project I specify of wool but profit very little, because the procedure and the loom of waist are very arduous. Segun the today women that outside with machinery from the spinning to the weave, that is, to form the fabric. That different it is now, because all the thread is bought industrialized to make those regional customes. Very few women follow with natural and the original thing of the town: the processing of the grandmas.
But those that also follow with this tradition they do it because there is money no to buy blankets, rebozos, cotones, bags, etc., that do in makes it.
