Ariana Svenson is a founder of Threads of Peru, a weaving project set up in 2008 in the remote villages of the Sacred Valley. Their aim is to promote traditional weaving skills in the Andes, previously forgotten by isolated communities. The LATA Foundation became involved in this project early 2010 when prices of cochineal dye sky-rocketed by 300% as a result of floods in Peru. The project is helping to train weavers about the importance of consistency of size, colour and overall quality and the needs of the modern international market.
