Isidoro C'cahuantico Mendoza was born in 1954 in a village near Cuzco. During the 1970s, he was forced to migrate when terrorists swept his region. Accepting various jobs, he soon found himself working as a janitor in a textile factory.
"I was completely fascinated with the work they were doing!" Isidoro recalls. "I became enamored with the textile arts at first sight.
"At night, when everyone had gone home and I was left alone to sweep and clean, I began to look at the looms and machines and to experiment with them, just out of curiosity. Some days later, one of the weavers complained to the supervisor that his machine was never the way he'd left it the night before. The owner asked who kept adjusting the loom, and was surprised beyond belief to learn that the culprit was me!
"She asked me why I was using the loom, and I replied that I wanted to learn to weave. She said that if I really wanted to learn, I should learn to assemble one of the spare looms in the warehouse.
"That was one of the most important and memorable moments in my life! My curiosity led me into the world of textiles, looms, knits and weaves.
"That was the beginning of a vocation, a great gift that I have now also passed along to my children. My two older children work with me, weaving and knitting fine alpaca textiles, and my daughter does the best crochet work I have ever seen. I hope all of my four children eventually develop my same love and passion for weaving!

SuzanneScary Packaging, beautiful ruana
Love the Ruana but the packaging was simply a plastic envelope and it had been cut through by a razor package cutter (about 4" long). The ruana was wrapped in tissue which had also been cut through. Luckily I could not find any cuts on the beautiful weave. I'm hoping it was not damaged!

PaulShe just loves this !
My wife just loves this wrap, she wears all the time. It goes with everything.
M
Michellecomfortable for in-between weather
Love the drape and just enough warmth when I need a little. Giving 4 stars because the weave snags easily and the pulls can be difficult to work back in to the weave.:( I love the shading of color in the fabric and will be careful when I wear.

PaulaStunning!
This Ruana is absolutely stunning in person. I bought it as a birthday gift for a very good friend and I know she's going to love it! The colors are beautiful, the way they fade into each other and this will help keep her toasty warm on Northern California chilly nights.

The blend of colors in this garment give it an intriguing aspect as if you cannot quite capture the hue. The heft is substantial so it will give warmth on a cool evening. It is an intended Christmas gift which I hope my daughter will revere.

MaryLike a functional blanket
I am 5 feet tall, so this is certainly very long on me. I have had it for about four months now.It’s easy to put on, and pretty much fuss free. Good overlap in the front if I want that, and I love the coverage when I’m seated, especially on cool evenings when I appreciate coverage down to my knees! The colors of red through wine are so rich! The fabric is soft and drapes nicely. I’m back to see if there is something similar in another color.

AndreaGift for stepdaughter
