Frasadas (Bolivian Blankets)
Im planning to offer Frasada's like these in The Bower birds Nest, my new online venture coming soon. They are absolutely stunning vintage wool Blankets, all completely and utterly handmade by the Aymara Indian women in Bolivia. The wool is all sheared by hand then dyed by hand (using quite a few natural dyes still, their use is coming back...) it is then all twisted and woven by hand on back strap looms..the frasada is made in two halves, and then they are joined together, sometimes with beautiful decorative seams..
The colours are stunning! often neutrals with chilli/tumeric shades to stunning effect! Aren't they pretty?
