<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 2597099, member: 8267&quot;]Well, that <i>might</i> push it into South America - Andean. They used similar techniques. It would be described as a warp-faced fabric (the warp is packed so tightly that it forms the visible surface, while the weft is hidden), with supplementary/substitution warps to form the patterns (this method creates the long &quot;floats&quot; on the back of the textile). Cotton is traditional in Guatemala, although [USER=45]@Taupou[/USER] has explained that wool yarn has been introduced and is also used. But this looks like fine hand spun, single ply yarn, which I would expect to be more typical of Andean traditions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
