Single-thread or double-thread?

Two mochilas can look identical at first glance and still differ sharply in price. The reason almost always lies in the craft: single-thread or double-thread.
In double-thread (dos hebras), the weaver carries two strands at once. It's quicker, and the weave is softer and a little looser — the lively classic, perfect for every day.
In single-thread (una hebra), the work is done with a single strand. The weave becomes denser, finer and far more durable. The price is time: instead of around 18 days, a weaver spends over four weeks on one piece.
Which is right? Both. Double-thread is the easy companion, single-thread the heirloom. Every product page tells you which one you're holding.
