Threads of Peru

 

Traditional Andean textile production, involves the shearing of organic fiber from herds of free range alpaca and sheep; the washing and dyeing of the fiber using natural dyes (from insects, plants, and minerals of the region) and local plant-based soaps; hand-spinning of the fiber into thread using the drop spindle; and the weaving of cloth using the ancient back-strap and four post looms. Woven items feature superb iconography specific to the mountain communities in the Sacred Valley region of Peru.

"Threads of Peru is a non-profit social enterprise that connects the world to the woven work of Quechua women; helping to preserve their ancient craft and provide them with economic opportunity."
