Product Features:
During the 1970s, Isidoro C'cahuantico was forced to migrate when terrorist activities swept his region. He found work as a janitor in a textile factory. 'I was completely fascinated with the work they were doing,' Isidoro recalls. 'I became enamored with the textile arts at first sight. At night, when everyone had gone home, I began to look at the looms and to experiment with them. Some days later, one of the weavers complained his machine was never the way he'd left it the night before. The owner asked who kept adjusting the loom, and was surprised to learn the culprit was me! When she asked why I was using the loom, I replied that I wanted to learn. She said if I really wanted to learn, I should learn to assemble one of the spare looms in the warehouse. That was one of the most important moments in my life. It was the beginning of a vocation, a great gift that I have now also passed to my children.'

Customer Reviews
Overall Rating: 5
This would make a great gift - I bought it to give to my daughter for Christmas, but I loved how it looked and decided to try it for a night. It is now mine. The blanket is unbelievably soft, the colors are nice and the pattern is very typical of Peruvian folk art. I'm so happy with this blanket that I immediately ordered the black throw. Most wool makes me itch, but this blanket is as soft as cotton. I love it.
