Purple Handwoven Alpaca Scarf
A Tapestry of Heritage – Handwoven Alpaca Scarf by Felicitas Vargas Sullcapuma
Discover the warmth of the Andes and the soul of a master weaver in this intricately handwoven alpaca scarf, made by Felicitas Vargas Sullcapuma, a 57-year-old artisan from the mountain village of Huacahuasi, Peru. Measuring 53.6 inches by 7.6 inches, this exquisite scarf is a testament to generations of Quechua weaving tradition, preserved and perfected through Felicitas’s skilled hands.
Woven from 100% alpaca wool, this piece offers an unparalleled combination of softness, strength, and natural insulation. Alpaca fiber is prized not only for its silky texture and warmth but also for its long-lasting quality and hypoallergenic properties—making this scarf as practical as it is luxurious.
What sets this scarf apart is its intricate design, carefully crafted on a traditional backstrap loom. Each thread is placed with precision, creating delicate geometric and symbolic patterns that tell a story rooted in Andean cosmology and the cycles of nature. From zigzag paths representing rivers to diamond motifs symbolizing protection and fertility, every inch of the scarf carries deep cultural meaning. Felicitas learned these patterns from her elders and now weaves them with quiet reverence and unmistakable mastery.
The scarf’s earthy hues are dyed using natural pigments sourced from native plants, minerals, and insects—an eco-friendly and time-honored process that connects the artisan directly to the land. The colors are soft yet vibrant, designed to age gracefully over time and reflect the beauty of the Andean landscape.
This scarf is not just an accessory—it’s an embodiment of identity, tradition, and resilience. It brings with it the spirit of the highlands, the rhythm of the loom, and the wisdom of a woman who has dedicated her life to keeping a sacred art form alive.
When you purchase this piece, you are directly supporting Felicitas and the Huacahuasi weaving community. Your support helps preserve Indigenous craftsmanship, empower women, and ensure that the stories told through fiber continue for generations to come.
