Peru - Day 3

I love coming to Peru to work directly with the artisans who make our products.  Here we are working out the design for a rug before it goes on the loom.


And even though rug making is a craft that is handed down from generation to generation here in Peru, things do change a bit over time. Here I am getting a lesson on the new warp tension tool for the new loom.

Yesterday I posted a picture showing how the yarn is hand painted for my hand painted boucle rugs.  This is a picture of the final product coming off the loom.  One of my favorite rugs.
