Stage 1 (5-8 years)
Stage 1 (5-8 years) - The first stage in Andean textile learning is called the braid (trencilla) stage because of the braid produced (Aym. tirinsa, Qu. watu or jakima) which is made by girls between 5 and 12 years old. The content includes learning plain weave (Aym. ina sawu), complementary or simple ladder technique with colour by row (patapata) and ladder technique of intercalated colour (ina k'uthu). The equivalent stage in Quechua is called jáquima (jakima).
