Wayuu Mochila Bag — One Thread
£195.00
Pickup currently not available
A full-size Wayuu mochila crocheted in a single thread — the finest weave, around three weeks of one woman’s work — with a hand-braided strap. Every bag is a one-off; you will receive photos of yours before it ships.
The Wayuu of La Guajira say weaving was taught to them by Wale’kerü, the spider. Each kanas pattern tells a story; one thread means the drawing is sharp enough to read.
Materials: Acrylic and cotton yarn
- Size: approx. 26 × 24 cm, strap 110 cm
- Weave: One thread (una hebra)
- Lead time: 2–3 weeks (imported in small batches)
