N2  - Contiene: Famed for their weaving expertise precolumbian Peruvians produced textiles not only rich and varied in effect but also comparable, if not superior, to old world fabrics. This volume widely considered the definitive study on the subjet describes in meticulous detail the ancient Peruvians textiles and techniques. The informative introduction examines such raw materials as agave fiber, cotton, and wool from the llama, alpaca, and wild vicuña; it also considers yarns, dyes, and looms. The first of the two-part text focuses on a variety of weaves-twills, gauzes, open -work fabrics, and much more. The second section deals with the techniques and materials related to nonwoven substances such as braiding, networking, felt, embroidery, and trimming. The heart of the book consist of hundreds of illustrated examples of authentic, well-preserved textiles, tapestries, and personal items
