Producing each piece takes two to five months (homeware textiles),
depending on the size and complexity of the work. It all begins with sheep and llamas,
whose wool is shorn, washed and then twirled by hand into thread.
The wool is then dyed in large vats, using local herbs and minerals to create its stunningly distinctive colours.
Finally, the wool is woven on looms to create the individual personality of each artwork.

By purchasing a piece you help support Peruvian local communities & their weaving legacy traditions.
