Weaving for the Wuayúu people, more than a cultural practice and an inheritance from their ancestors, is a way of conceiving and expressing life as they feel and desire it.

According to the story, the spider or Wale' Kerü was the one who taught the Wayúu woman to weave. Wale ’Kerü is a weaver spider that when it dawned she already had sashes and hammocks made, and she always made her drawings before spring.
