Iraca - SandonĆ”
- Crafted with the utmost care, this piece is carefully hand-woven using Iraca Palm Fibers sourced from SandonƔ, nestled in the heart of NariƱo.
- In a tradition woven into the fabric of this community, men undertake the night-time gathering of the precious Iraca during the waning moon, selecting the perfect hue and delicate fineness. Once cleaned, washed, and occasionally dyed, women take up the art of hand-weaving within the confines of their homes of family workshops. Seeds, leaves, branches, walnut, black cedar, and minerals serve as the source of dyes, rendering an extensive array of captivating colors.Ā
- Variations in shape, color, and texture are due to the nature of the artisanal materials and techniques used throughout the process.
