Alicia & Mario

Alicia Sanchez has a wild eye for color. She makes her color selections and lays them on her husband Mario’s loom. Mario then weaves the rugs that pop with her surprising color combinations. Mario learned to weave from his father and while Alicia learned to spin and dye she didn’t learn to weave until she met Mario, whose family believed that women should be able to weave as well as men. Alicia’s son is learning to weave in his spare time after working at his general store. Alicia & Mario have goats and lots of medicinal herbs and flowers in their garden. They do the majority of XyZ’s custom weavings.
