He comes from a respected family of weavers. For Zosimo, his greatest motivation is the pleasure his work produces in others. He intends to maintain ancient methods by creating captivating products of superb quality. Like many residents of Ayacucho, Zosimo's family was forced to abandon their home due to turmoil and violence. They moved to an urban center where they faced many obstacles, but Zosimo's dedication has allowed him to succeed in his new home. He plans to teach his children the trade when they are old enough. Zosimo uses alpaca, wool and cotton to create his pieces, with natural and synthetic dyes for enthralling colors.What is Worldstock?The handdesigned nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing.
