This town is a small Nahua speaking town were a limited number of women still weave and spin wool . There has been an effort to add new products to the traditional ponchos and blankets, some of those products like Andean hats and wool slipper , scarfs and quechquemitls add to the possibilities. In fact I bought a cap like those worn in the Andes but made in the Zongolica.
