Every area has its own distinctive patterns. A cloth from Pisac or Ollantaytambo will be distinct from one from Chinchero or Q'eros. They are made of wool from sheep, llama and alpaca. Some of the cloths we sell have been previously used in ceremony or for other purposes that an Andean family might have such as carrying belongings, infants, food, or as shawls to protect against the high Andean wind. Small looms and hand looms are often set up in the field, so that time spent with the grazing animals has a double use. These are hand made on small looms without the use of foot pedals and harnesses. Other pieces may be worked in the home, and intricate patterns are worked by lifting each thread separately. Finely-woven items may take a week or two per running foot. Sheering, dyeing, carding and spinning the wool are also by-hand operations. | 40 in x 36 in wonderful weaving depicting animals, people, houses, birds perfect for despacho reds, with subdued blues and greens new $195.00 $8.00 shipping and handling click here for shipping outside US
