Handwoven Wool Runners
Bring Authentic New Mexican Artisan Craft to Your Table
Every meal becomes a special occasion when you set your table with these stunning handwoven wool runners. Created by weaver Rosie Zamora in Albuquerque, each runner is a functional work of art that celebrates the rich textile traditions of the American Southwest.
This is slow craft at its finest—Rosie works on a traditional loom, carefully selecting colors and patterns that honor centuries of New Mexican weaving heritage. The wool comes from livestock raised in Northern New Mexico's high desert, where the climate produces exceptionally strong, beautiful fibers with natural luster.
