INCA: LLAMAS & LOOMS
The Andes is one of the highest mountain ranges in the world, home to llamas whose fleece produces warm woolly clothing that lasts a lifetime. Here kids help with the process--shearing llamas, spinning, dyeing yarn with insects picked off cactus, and weaving on looms. Learn the pre-Incan ancient symbols the Inca still weave into textiles worn today. Weave a colorful yarn armband.
