Wasa watana (hair tie). A braided hair tie made in the combined techniques of oblique interlacing (dark threads) and oblique twining (mainly pink and orange). Each end of the hair tie has 3 tassels made of 3 bands. Most of the added bands intersect by passing through the threads of the main band, however 2 of the 6 tassels have folded bands that are sewn on.

A pair of non-identical wasa watana (hair ties) woven in complementary warp weave, and sewn together. Each has tassels formed by intersecting warps that are woven as separate bands, but each end of each hairtie has a different branching conformation. Both hair ties are edged with small beads, which were threaded on the weft yarn before weaving. Another complete hair tie with intersecting warps is folded and inserted between the non-identical hair ties and sewn in place. Alpaca and sheep’s wool.
