Craft production plays a large part in the economies of several Otomí communities. Some of these villages are well known for their vibrantly-colored, embroidered textiles, ranging from clothing to bedspreads, tablecloths, runners and napkins. The Otomí embroideries reflect the world they interact with daily – especially plants, insects, birds, animals and fish. Many girls and women still wear the traditional attire that of an embroidered blouse, wrap skirt, woven sash, and quechquémitl.
