Charming vegetable finger puppet is handcrafted by artisans of Manos
Aymaras, a workshop of Manos Amigas, in the village of Chucuito on Lake
Titicaca. These Aymara women have adapted traditional alpaca wool
clothing knitting to develop fun finger puppet. Most of the finger
puppet knitting is done at home, amongst the many other duties the women
must accomplish every day.
Traditionally these women would spin and knit alpaca wool to make
their own sweaters, socks, hats, mittens and blankets—necessary for the
cool weather of their highland community. In recent years they have
adapted these skills to develop a marketable product, the finger
puppets, for export.
