Other techniques
These include discontinuous warp, tie-dye warp, watan wasana, and chuspa con unan nlyuc.
Tie-dyed warp: This is a special technique dating back to pre-Incan times, known as ikat in some places. Use of this technique declined when acrylic yarns became popular. In tie-dye warp, a narrow warp, usually white or another light color, is created, and then sections of warp threads in both the upper and lower layer are bound tightly in a pattern. Geometric patterns are typically used in tie-dye warps.
Chuspa con unan niyuc: This is a special, not commonly seen textile. A coca bag with a woven-in pocket which holds the mineral lime that is chewed along with the coca leaves. The warps are longer in the area where the little pocket is made
Discontinuous warp (ticla or kuchu): In Pitumarca, weavers create these small fabrics made up of four blocks. Discontinous warp is typically used to make ceremonial offerings. Sometimes the warp is discontinuous and sometimes the weft is discontinuous.
Wasa watana: This is a special textile in the form of a decorative ribbon with other ribbons woven across and through it. Wasa watana is in the process of disappearing from the textile tradition.
