Handwoven in Peru…

Peru is one of the most fascinating countries to travel to. As I have a passion for handmade fabrics I focussed on the Quechua weavers.  These descendants of the Inkas are preserving their hundreds of years old tradition of weaving on a handloom. The weaving is an important part of the rural culture as a collective memory and a tool for social cohesion.                                                                      l © Cusco, dehmarion, r Uaiki2016, both pixabay                                                                                                ...
