Peruvian weaver

Traditional Peruvian clothing for both men and women is often woven from wool which is readily available and comfortable in the Peruvian mountain climate. Geometric figures and vibrant colors are featured on clothing items. Parts of the traditional outfit, both in men and in women are designed with a recognition factor involved. With a woman, you need only look at the straps of her hat to see where she is from. With a man, check the design of his challo or knitted hat to find a clue as to what region or village he is from.
