| 🌿Coyuchi ➖Cotton species native to Mexico, in a light beige - cinnamon colour: Coyuchi comes from the Nahuatl 'coyōichcatl' which means ‘coyote [coloured] cotton’. The names for cotton in the languages of Mexico indicate that its first peoples have known of the plant and its cultivation for a very long time -- thousands of years before the arrival of Hernán Cortés. -- They succeeded in developing a resistant crop and an excellent fibre and their art and skill survives today, resisting the invasion of synthetic fibres derived from petroleum. The filaments of white and coyuchi “alert us that our future wellbeing will not ooze out of oil wells but will grow in fields which resemble gardens” - Alejandro de Ávila, curator of 'Coyuchi y blanco | Flores de Algodon' / 'Brown and white | Flowers of cotton', Museo Textil de Oaxaca.
