Frazada AC037 146x170cm

Frazada of 146x170cm made of sheep wool woven in the high Andes, in very intense shades of fuchsia, purple, green and purplish-blue. The perimeter of this loom is worked with a wave-shaped border in fuchsia. This Cusco blanket is woven by hand in the South American Altiplano. It has been woven on a wooden loom that is tied at one end to a pole and at the other end to the weaver’s waist. An alpaca bone has been used to braid the wool to make the drawings. Being such a manual work can present small irregularities and “perfect” imperfections. The looms are made of 100% sheep’s wool dyed with natural pigments. Its color may vary and it is sensitive to direct light. We recommend dry cleaning the carpet.
