Wayuu Mochila Bag — One Thread

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)
