Sacred Valley Heritage Colorful Backstrap Handwoven Alpaca Ruana Cape

Size: 70" L x 54" W

Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco

(31)

Intricate geometric motifs come to life in radiant colors derived from natural dyes. Artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco work with ancestral techniques to create fashion for today and always. This elegant ruana cape is woven by hand of fine alpaca wool, prized by the ancient Inca for its lightweight warmth. The cloak of many colors includes red, goldenrod yellow, fuchsia and orange, among others.

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.

Vibrant Colors!

This shawl is soft, warm, gorgeous, and so vibrant. I hesitated to buy it because I have a couple of similar wraps, but I'm so glad I purchased this shawl. These shawls are easier--not bulky-- to carry on trips than a sweater. Perfect for a cool evening out. This shawl is perfect! Beautiful workmanship....beautiful colors.

Even more beautiful than the photo

Absolutely beautiful, the colors are exquisite. It is finely crafted and the alpaca wool is soft with NO scent (as noted by a previous reviewer). I will order from this artisan again.
