Peruvian Textiles: Weaving Stories of the Andes

In the Andean region of Peru, the art of weaving is more than just a craft—it’s a way of telling stories. Indigenous communities like the Quechua and the Aymara use alpaca and sheep wool to create vibrant textiles. The patterns woven into these textiles represent ancient myths, ancestral knowledge, and the landscapes of the Andes. Weaving is considered a sacred practice, with each piece representing the relationship between the people and the land.
