Orange Handwoven Alpaca Tablerunner
Alpaca Hand-Woven Intricate Table Runner
by Alejandrina Puma Huamanhuillca
(48 inches x 18.8 inches)
Infuse your home with warmth, heritage, and artistry through this intricately hand-woven alpaca table runner, crafted with precision and pride by Alejandrina Puma Huamanhuillca, a 57-year-old master weaver from the Andean village of Huacahuasi, Peru.
Measuring 48 inches in length and 18.8 inches in width, this piece is more than a decorative textile—it is a living tapestry of Quechua tradition, skillfully brought to life by a woman who has spent decades preserving the weaving techniques passed down through generations of Andean women.
Using a traditional backstrap loom, Alejandrina wove this runner thread by thread with 100% hand-spun alpaca wool, known for its softness, resilience, and natural elegance. The intricate geometric and symbolic designs embedded in the weave are drawn from the rich visual language of Andean cosmology—each motif telling stories of nature, harvest, community, and connection.
What makes this table runner truly remarkable is the depth of detail in both its patterning and its palette. Alejandrina uses natural dyes made from local plants, seeds, and insects, infusing every hue with the spirit of the highlands—from the rusty reds of cochineal to the golden tones of qolle flowers and the rich earth browns drawn from tree bark. These colors, carefully blended and preserved, bring a sense of harmony and reverence to any space.
Perfect as a centerpiece for a dining table, console, or altar, this runner transforms any surface into a canvas of cultural expression. It is both a work of art and a piece of living heritage—created slowly, deliberately, and with deep purpose.
By purchasing this piece, you are helping support indigenous women weavers like Alejandrina, providing them with fair income and empowering them to pass their traditions to the next generation.
