Traditional Weavings (Online Store Coming this Fall)

In addition to these modestly priced handcrafts, Mano a Mano sells exquisite hand woven runners, wall hangings and placements.  Weavers dye the wool of sheep, llama and alpaca with natural dyes obtained from plants and insects to create traditional Andean double-weave motifs.  Seated on the ground, they tie their backstrap looms to a tree and spend up to two months creating one weaving.  The artists transmit the love of their culture and environment through techniques that have been passed down  for generations.
