Here's a beautiful example of an old, hand knitted alpaca coin purse from the highlands of Peru.  The yard is hand spun and twisted twice and the dyes are vegetal for the most part. I think the red is aniline however. The stitches are tiny and perfectly spaced. Sewn at the edges. The drawstring can be tied at the top or the whole thing can be rolled into a bundle and tied. The blue may be aniline dye. 8" long  3.5" wide at the bottom bell.
The motifs are birds, ducks and condors..with a human figure too! Condition is great for its age..I didn't clean it but I think it would lighten up quite a bit though it does not smell bad or have any staining. I have kept it moth free in a freezer and plastic bag.  If you have any other specific questions, please email. Purchased about 20 years ago in peru but it is probably at least 60 years old. I have  vintage handknitted Peruvian textiles for sale so check all my items. Thanks! I ship within one day of being paid.
I am also selling on Etsy in Goodwin Gallery...I plan to get off of Ebay and only be selling on Etsy.
