My day..... braiding, making and then mud mud mud!
The only hand made woolen Mecates made in New Zealand using the old traditions and to the old time specifications.
We started making mecates out of a desire to find a New Zealand made mecate, using sheep wool with pre signal. The wool that we grow here, is renowned as being the best in the world. So, in the old tradition of using what is around you, we gathered up supplies and set to work. We have spent a long time improving our product and perfecting the art of making a truly balanced mecate that is very firm
