A Peruvian woman works at a loom while a young woman spins a skein of wool. #
Description
On Tequile Island, on Lake Titicaca, men and women work wool, but their tasks are divided. While the boys and the men knit, the women make skeins of wool and work with the loom making strips of cloth of different widths and colors. Some of these tapes are used by men as a sash over the shirt and pants. Others are used to make bags or bracelets.
