GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Textiles are some of the finest and most specialized arts of the Andes, providing fundamental information regarding regional production, developed techniques, and adopted styles. Loom end sticks serve to establish the top and base of a weaver’s loom. The longitudinal threads, or warps, are looped around the end sticks, between which the artisan begins to weave the horizontal threads, or wefts, for the textile production.
