Daniela Sanchez Perez, Susana Esquivel Rios

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to analyze the loss of interest of the Chiconcuac community in making clothing with looms and needles. This article aims to put in context the origins of the municipality and the wool crafts in Chiconcuac, as well as its production procedure. Likewise, strategies are drawn up to attract the attention of the young people of Chiconcuac so that they become interested again in learning the production of artisanal weaving, as well as intensifying the arrival of tourism to promote trade and prevent the disappearance of said craftsmanship, all of this to give revaluation and rescue the artisanal work of wool weaving in Chiconcuac.
