I was in Pucon, Chile for the annual conference of the Chilean Biological Society. Apart from the natural beauty in the area, the hand crafts were amazing ... yes some were run-of-the-mill and you could find them anywhere around the world (kind of like stumbling upon little Eiffel Tours at Mont St Michel!). However, the wool ... there are no words. Granted I have only rediscovered such things as skeins of wool and other textiles recently, so I have never been in a place such as this. Below are just a sample of the pictures I took at all the different like kiosks of local artisans ...
I bough the coke bottle green one in the upper left ... it is an even prettier green in person!
This was one of the shops we found when we were looking for the owners of a shop that was closed. Hanks upon hanks of natural and not so natural dyed yarns!
This was some yarns with "bubbles" that was really neat and luckily we had a little sunlight to highlight the colors of the yarns outdoors!
