Notable residents[edit]
The anthropologists Ed and Chris Franquemont lived among the Chinchero people during the 1970s, studying traditional textile production techniques. Their daughter Abby Franquemont, having spent her childhood within a spinning culture, later became a revivalist of hand spinning with the spindle.[6]
