"To us, blue represents the welcoming warmth of home," says a representative of Yama Aj Chixot Artisan Group in reference to the deep blue hues of this table runner. She explains that many of them feel an extraordinary sense of companionship when blue is present in their designs. "We tend to use blue a lot." They work in teams on the pedal loom, weaving the table runner with cotton featuring the legendary wreath that appears in the huipiles worn by women in Guatemala.

Beautiful Design & Colors”

I just placed this runner on my brand new cherry wood dining table, and its beautiful. I love the pattern and all the rich colors, especially the blues and golds. Very high quality and well-made. I love the story of the artists from Guatemala. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art!

Very Pretty”

Beautiful colors. Didnt give it five stars because as a scarf, it is not heavy. Would not be very warm in winter.

Nice, but not quite what I expected.”

It must be the word shawl, because I thought this would have more weight to it. It looks more like a table runner, which is how I will probably use it. It is quite pretty.
