An unfinished sling. The solid braid is composed of 16 strands of dark (8) and light (8) handspun camelid yarn. The threads are paired and cross the crown to the opposite quadrant in a directional order that produces diamonds, a pattern that is called “llama nawi” (llama eyes) in some communities. Near the starting end, the braid splits into two to make a thumb hold and then rejoins to make the larger solid braid. The cradle section was not started on this sample.
