Wool tapestry, 'Yarn Spinning Women'

Bent to their work, four women huddle together in concentration, their warm cloaks protecting against the highland cold. Walter Paucar Velarde captures the spirit of the Andes in a brilliant tapestry, realistically woven by hand. The women he portrays spin wool into yarn to knit and weave into articles of daily use. Titled "Las hilanderas" in Spanish.
