Andean Wool

The tradition of working with animal fiber such as wool spans from the colonial times when sheep was brough to the colder regions of Cundinamarca and Boyaca. Its fiber quickly became popular for its ability to keep warm in these higher altitude regions. The artisans of Sutatausa, a small village have been preserving the quality, the craftsmanship and the economy from shearing sheep, spinning the wool, dyeing and weaving.
