This is how the warp here in Peru. That big metal thing is their warping frame and they throw the balls of yarn at eachother.
These are women weaving mantas, ponchos, and table runners for sale in the shops. Those are some big ass weavings.

The Weavers
So as not to show favoritism, Nilda sometimes asks me to take pictures of the weavers backs, so you can't identify their faces. This way we have photos to choose from, just in case they need anonymous images for publication materials. However it's still really cool to just watch the women going about the process of weaving, so I thought I'd share a few pictures.
