Otavalo Alpaca Blankets on Stone Wall

by Sandra Bass

Vibrant stripes of handwoven alpaca blankets drape over a weathered stone wall in a narrow Stone Town lane. Soft, diffused light from a bright midmorning sky flattens shadows, revealing the thick, woolly texture of red, indigo, and ochre fabrics. Rain-slicked cobblestones glisten beneath a cluster of shoppers seeking shelter from the monsoon season. A vendor stands beside the wall, arranging the heavy textiles while others gather close, their colorful clothing adding to the dense human warmth. The damp air hangs heavy, visible in the sheen on the stone surface and the way the wool fibers absorb the light. One fringed edge of a blue blanket rests against a wet gray brick.
