How long does it take to make a Wayuu bag?
Although it is said that a double threaded Wayuu bag can take anywhere from 10 to 15 days, this is relative. A Wayuu woman does not spend all day working on her craft.
Between the activities of the house, she finds time to crochet. For example, she might crochet a little bit in the morning, then go and make breakfast for her children. Later she might attend to house chores and while lunch cooks, she might pick up her Wayuu bag and continue working.
On average, double threaded Wayuu bag takes about five hours to make, while single-threaded bags take 10 hours in total. This of course does not count the strap, as it is usually made by the men of the Wayuu community.
