Sallac Artistry Backstrap Handwoven Baby Alpaca Poncho in Ruby Red

Size: 61" L x 45" W

Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco

(31)

Working in baby alpaca — the fine fleece from the season's first shearing — the artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco create a handwoven masterpiece. Rows of intricate geometric motifs flow across the ruby red poncho. Its soft allure is woven by hand on the backstrap loom using colors favored by ancient Andean cultures. Its name reveals its inspiration in the small Inca community of Sallac.

The community raises and cares for its own alpacas. The fleece is washed, carded and spun by hand using a pushka, or drop spindle. The dyes come from plants, nuts and tree bark. The next step is one of the most important, as the artisan prepares the warp, or vertical threads for the backstrap loom. This determines the size of the textile, the color combinations, and the patterns that will be woven.

The intensity of color can vary depending on the hardness of the water, the altitude and the local dye sources, making each textile a unique piece of handcrafted art.

Love it

I love the softness, warmth, design, color and fit of this. I used to knit a lot, and can confirm that this is high-quality work. My favorite sweater. I'm 5'5 and 125-130 lbs and the medium was a perfect relaxed fit which is what I prefer..

VERY particular brother LOVES this!

I'm always v careful shopping for my stylish brother; he's VERY particular and I hold my breath whenever he opens a package from me. Thrilled to report that he absolutely loves this sweater, says it fits like magic and goes everywhere, from business meetings (with a blazer) to a dinner date (with or without) to running errands (with sweatpants & sneakers). He has a keen eye for design & construction as well as style, and gives this sweater high praise on both. Thank you!!

Absolutely Gorgeous!!!

Not quite as warm as I thought it would be, but I wouldn't trade it for nothing. I love it. With a good warm sweater underneath it will be fine this winter. I can't tell you just how beautiful it is!!!
