Video: Interview with artisanal weaver in Iscayachi

On our day trip to Iscayachi (population ~3,000), we visited this lady, who makes artisanal ponchos, blankets, and shawls on an old-fashioned loom. She takes wool from sheep and llamas, applies dyes made from flowers, insects, and other organic material, then weaves the wool into amazing pieces of art.
