Ciruelos Ombre Open Poncho- Special Order

Ciruelos, or Cherries, is a new design by Ignacio "Nacho" Netzahualcoyotl made of 100% finger weight Italian Merino wool, handwoven on a pedal loom in Tlaxcala, Mexico. Dyed with successive dips of cochineal to achieve a rich ombre design in tones of dark and light pinks and purples. Cochineal (grana cochinilla) has been scarce in Mexico due to climate change issues in the past year, so these vibrant colors are becoming rarer. 

Designed by Ignacio Netzahualcoyotl, 2021 winner of the Grand Prize for Mexican Traditional Patrimony. 

Ciruelos is a  special order piece which takes 8-10 weeks to produce from the date of the order. The piece can be ordered as a poncho or an open poncho.
