SKU# 6115150

Vertical coiled wool tapestry shows a tree of life against a rolling landscape, in earthy greens and browns.

To make coiled wool tapestries, Peruvian weavers use wool from sheep of the Andes. They wash it in a local river, card and dye it. It is a lengthy, labor-intensive operation. Blending different colors to create specific hues, they roll the wool fibers into long strands, ready to create a tapestry on a wooden loom. Cotton threads form the warp; wool coils form the weft.
