The Chahuaytire weaving community is supported by the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales Del Cusco, Peru (CTTC) founded in 1996 by indigenous weavers of the Cusco region and international supporters, to save, promote and spread the Peruvian traditional textile knowledge. The weavers meet once a week, every Wednesday, in the weaving center set up in the open air.
