History of woven textiles and fabrics in this region

NORTHERN TEXTILES FROM THE ANDEAN SOCIETY Andean people first produced textiles around 10,000 BC, creating one of the world’s earliest weaving traditions. Andean textiles reflect the fabric of life—a unique heritage of woven stories and cultural traditions.  In the ancient Andean world, textiles served as a primary form of artistic expression as well as a powerful visual medium for portraying nature’s secrets and the order of the universe.

Andean textiles are known worldwide for their exquisite quality, intricate designs, and rich color palette. In Argentina, the first hand-spun cordage—a mixture of plant fibers, wool, and human hair— dates to nearly 7670 BC and was found in a cave in Jujuy Province. People got the wool like fiber from the Camelid Family. In South America, this species evolves into the guanaco - progenitor of the llama -, and the vicuna - progenitor of the alpaca. Your purchase of  these products help many villagers to maintain their love for these traditions and support their families.
