Wool Ponchos
Everyday & Ceremonial
These 100% Wool Ponchos are made for two purposes in Q’eros: everyday wear and special ceremonial wear. All weaving art is infused with ceremony and prayer as they are created, making each piece unique and filled with special intention along with designs that carry ancestral wisdom.
The sustainable Alpaca fibers used to make this poncho comes from the Alpacas of Q’eros that are raised with love and shorn with care. The fibre is handspun with prayers made to the spirit of the spindle, ceremonies made to the ancestors and the muse of Inka patterns, so that each poncho is woven infused with special intentions. These tan ponchos with thin red lines of design are used for everyday wear in Q’eros. Each design detail is different, making each piece a unique work of weaving art. The cochineal, a tiny insect that lives in the jungle cactus, has been used since time immemorial by the Q’ero to produce over 26 shades of red. All natural dies and natural Alpaca colors are used in the making of this poncho. No alpacas are killed for the purpose of making this product.
