SPINNING IS THE MOST TIME-CONSUMING OF THE WEAVING PROCESS


“Spinning" can comprise up to 60% of the time involved in producing a finished product. It is also a very fine art. It is difficult to master the drop spindle, for which reason most people start learning at a very young age- five or six.”

Look at the demonstration here with a local Inca woman, showing us how wonderful the art of weaving is. The Lady Weaver will decide what designs and colors she will use for the finished product in order to begin with the warping process, which prepares the yarn for weaving.
