Peruvian Frazada in Brights on White Stripes

This frazada was handmade by artisans in the highlands of Cusco, Peru. Traditional frazadas like this one are colored with natural plant dyes. They are then woven, over the course of 1 month, on a backstrap loom. They are made in 2 narrow panels that are then stitched together to form the frazada. All natural, made with sheep and alpaca wool, they are thick and made to be warm in order to protect from the chill of the Andes.  Each one is unique and  reflective of its maker/weaver.

Measures approximately 59 inches x 59 inches. 

As with all handmade and/or vintage items, there are sometimes "imperfections". These are what make them special, beautiful and real. Truly one of a kind. 

Care Instructions:

• Drycleaning is recommended.
• Overall, frazadas are hardy and need little care.
