We must mention that they were declared by UNESCO as “Cultural Patrimony of Humanity”. Spinning and weaving are mainly made by men, who begin to make this art from the age of eight. By means of these fabrics, Taquile inhabitants demonstrate their civil status depending on the colors, sizes and mode of use.
