Frazada AD046 168x149cm

Frazada of 168x149cm made of sheep wool woven high in the Andes, with plain stripes in shades of fuchsia, blue, red and yellow. Some borders have geometric designs woven in relief. 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.
