Loom Ixtle is a fiber extracted from the lechugilla plant and used to weave hammocks, rugs, and bags. The Department of Ecology of the State Government of Coahuila is encouraging people to work by offering scholarships to learn this skill and by helping to support family-run workshops. Craftsman José Isabel Quiroz learned how to weave ixtle from his father, who still works with him. Quiroz’s wife puts the finishing touches on the crafts.
