Vigan weavers are known for using abel, a locally produced cotton fabric, to hand-weave shawls, tablecloths, napkins and barong (traditional Filipino shirts). In barangay Camanggaan, just a 10-minute tricycle ride southeast of Vigan, you can watch abel handweavers in action at Rowilda’s Weaving Factory , which is actually just a house, or its neighbour, Cristy's Loom Weaving .
High-quality binakol (blankets), including some antique blankets from nearby Abra Province, are for sale at Mira Furniture and at many shops lining Crisologo St.
