Last week Tuesday I finished the spinning for my first khaitu(Andean weaving yarn) project. I'm taking all the steps that would be taken traditionally so the next steps in this project is to wind 2 ply plying balls, wind figure 8 skeins, wash the skeins of singles, wind back into balls, and then ply on a Kanti. I'm currently plying so stay tuned for more photos of the process coming soon. I learned how to spin on these spindles along with all the other techniques described above from @abbysyarns and Nilda Callanaupa Alvarez of @centro_textiles_cusco. I am so thankful for everything they do to help promote the learning and continuation of these beautiful textile traditions! Background textile was woven by Urbana Turpo Ccori of Sallac. Purchased through @centro_textiles_cusco. #abbysyarns #franquemontuniversity #andeanweaving #khaitu #spinningtoweave #chajchaj #pushka #andeanbackstrap #backstrapweaving #weaversofinstagram #handweaving #weavingyarns #igweavers #handwoventextiles #weaversgonnaweave
