The hair of the llama and the alpaca are the fibers most used for knitting and weaving.

Brown, white, gray and black are the natural colors of the llama and alpaca. All of the bright colors are died. Plant leaves, bark, and roots can be boiled to make to different colored dyes.

The flaps on the bottom of the cap are ear covers. Some caps have ties at the bottom of the ear flaps so that will stay on when the wind blows.

Alpaca, like wool, has natural oils from the animal in it. This helps to keep the animal warm even when it is wet. It also helps to keep people who wear clothes made from the alpaca's fur warm, too.

Llamas are well-adapted to climbing the steep mountainsides. Their hooves are soft and flexible for climbing. They also have a warm coat which allows them to survive during the cold nights and winters which are common at high altitudes.

Llamas are useful to people because they can carry heavy loads on their backs. Their hair can be spun into yarn for knitting or weaving. The milk of the llama is a a good source of protein and calcium.

The skinnier and shorter the pipes, the higher the notes are. Likewise, the notes get lower when the pipes are wider and longer.

This painting is of a street scene in the city of Cuzco. Wide strands of yarn were woven together with thinner strands to make a "canvas."

Cuzco is in a valley, surrounded by green hills and mountains, some with trees. The town of Cuzco looks like a Spanish colonial city. The buildings are made from stone or from adobe and plaster. The roofs are made from tile. On some buildings, the foundations are made from large stones which were set there by the Incas many centuries ago. The streets were often paved with cobblestones. (Today many are paved with asphalt.)

Campesinos wear hats to keep them warm in winter and protect them from the sun in summer. Babies are easily carried by their mothers using a type of "sling" over their shoulders.

The flags on the front doors mean that there is maize beer or chicha de jora for sale.

A watercolor on paper shows market day. Women have put on their best clothes to come to town and sell products their families have grown. Produce and other small items are placed in baskets which the women probably wove themselves. The products were most likely brought to town on carts or on the backs of llamas.
