New spindles arrived from @abbysyarns just in time! I finished the four I set out for this project and now starting to spin the second ply on the new spindles. This spinning is destined to become khaitu(Andean weaving yarn) and will be used for some thin beaded bands. Andean spinning spindles are called Pushkas and the darker whorls are a specific type called Chaj Chaj which is the sound the captive ring makes while spinning. The bag these spindles are sitting on is a spindle bag that is able to hold all four of these spindles. Both the bag and textile were spindle spun and woven on backstrap. Background textile was woven by Urbana Turpo Ccori of Sallac and the spindle bag was woven by Susana Inquillay Apaza from Sallac. Purchased through @centro_textiles_cusco and @abbysyarns. #abbysyarns #franquemontuniversity #peruvianspindle #pushka #chacchac #chajchaj #khaitu #andeanweaving #andeanbackstrap #backstrapweaving #weaversofinstagram #handweaving #weavingyarns #igweavers #handwoventextiles #weaversgonnaweave
