Frazada AD024 163x135cm

Frazada of 180x160cm made of  sheep wool woven high in the Andes. With marbled and plain borders in shades of red, mustard, purple, fuchsia, orange, pink and blue. They are notable for their many geometric patterns woven in relief and for their perimeter, which is worked with a wave-shaped finial. 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.
