This week's PhotoHunt theme is itchy.
High in the Peruvian mountains at Abra La Raya Pass locals sell their colorful handwoven wears. I found the alpaca wool used in the textiles to be very soft and not at all itchy.

ReplyDeletei can't help but gasp at the amazing backdrop to where the ambulant vendors set up their tables.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo -- and also loved the alpaca wool sweater I bought years ago (from a shop called Inca in London) and wore for a long time until huge, un-mendable holes appeared in it! ;(
ReplyDeleteI have two alpaca wool sweaters, and I adore them! Great pic for the theme :)

I have heard Alpaca wool is very soft. We had an Alpaca show here a couple of weeks ago, and Mom forgot to go..She was pretty itchy, so she may not have gone if she'd remembered.
ReplyDeletePretty colors in your Hunt!
