Teixchel Weaving Association

Teixchel Tejidos is a Tz’utujil women’s association in San Pedro La Laguna, with a mission to revive Mayan culture. We weave exclusively with non-toxic natural dyes, because our land is not only ours, but that of future generations. Wholesale as well as custom orders are available. You are also welcome to drop in for a workshop!

What Visitors are Saying

Teixchel Weaving Association receives excellent feedback for hands-on weaving experiences led by women including Doña Berta and Angela. Visitors appreciate learning traditional techniques directly rather than simply shopping for finished textiles. The experience is frequently described as personal, educational, and culturally meaningful.

Participants can learn about weaving while also hearing stories about Maya culture, the community, and the Maya calendar. Some reviewers mention making a scarf, which gives the activity a tangible result to take home. The teachers are repeatedly praised as patient, supportive, and generous with their knowledge.

The main practical issue is finding the association, which some visitors say can be difficult to spot. Otherwise, the supplied feedback is strongly positive. Overall, Teixchel is especially well suited to travelers who want a participatory cultural experience, direct interaction with local weavers, and a deeper understanding of the meaning behind the textiles.
