Other cool stuff….marvelous huipiles at Red Corn. Annie’s friend Joanne showed me a carrying cloth in her collection and I was surprised to see a doube weave band on it which suddenly changed to pebble weave. I have never seen these two weaves combined like that before. The weaving tools at the Chinee minoritie booth had me constantly sneaking back for more. Jeffrey Appleby’s stand had an intriguing array of textiles, books and artifacts including this Turkish spindle and distaff. I bought his book “Traditional Textiles of the Andes” which he signed for me and which contains his personal collection.
