Maiwa has recently arrived back from a trip to Peru where we gave an indigo workshop, attended the Tinkuy gathering of weavers, and presented a workshop on marketing craft. While in Peru we placed a large order from the Centre for Traditional Textiles of Cusco (CTTC). That order has just arrived, cleared customs, and hit the stores. It is a shipment of exhibition quality textiles from the Centre for Traditional Textiles of Cusco (CTTC).

Cushion covers, small & large bags, table runners, placemats, knitted Peruvian hats, wall hangings, and much more. Everything is hand woven and naturally dyed.

Prices range from $19.95 - $199.00. Here are some photos of some of the items and artisans.

With a drop spindle so close at hand there is never an idle moment.

Hand woven shoulder bag.

Strong hands and the use of a bone beater make for extraordinary tight weaves on the Peruvian backstrap loom.

A rich variety of colours are obtained from natural dyes.
