South America Indian handmade shawl forest green

[Indian shawl short story] Just as after the Industrial Revolution, the traditional craftsmanship was weak, Mass-produced mechanized equipment, with the convenience of modularization and quantification, Those beautiful symbols with temperature that surprise us are about to die out over time. And in Otavalo, the largest traditional market in Central and South America, Fewer than five people still use such traditional hand-push shuttles and pedal partitions to create this beautiful and unique scarf. I asked this Indian friend Ernesto, He said that under the mechanical production capacity that can make 70 to 80 scarves on this day, Who is willing to sit on the wooden slats and push the shuttle repeatedly, doing the work of the elderly who can produce only 15 slats a day? And whether such a beautiful pattern that cannot be reproduced mechanically is about to disappear in this world, For them who only pursue food and clothing, it doesn't seem to be important at all. Shawls need more time to knit, they are more precious Looking at such a complex and beautiful totem, With the shuttles thrown by the producer from side to side, weaving gradually, It has a stunning and moving temperature. The helplessness under the changes of this era, Do we have the ability to change and maintain these beautiful past? Origin/manufacturing method South America/Handcraft
