GUALACEO CLOTHS in Ecuador: in GUALACEO, particularly Bullzhun and Bullcay, fabrics woven by aborigines with natural dyes such as those obtained from walnut, cochineal, bougainvillea, ñachac, cabbage, grille, onion, and indigo. They are traditional in the dress of the chola cuencana and the peasant women. The most primitive and economical versions were called macanas, so this word became synonymous with something of little value.
