Hand-dyed

100% hand-spun llama wool

Description

This rug was hand-woven following ancient techniques by master weavers living in remote areas in the Dry Forest, Argentina. It is a unique textile and it takes around 2 months to make it. It was handmade using pure hand-spun sheep wool. The whole process, since the animal is sheared, takes place within the same family or community

Wool properties:

Our wool is sourced from small sheep farms in the heart of the dry forest, same area where our rugs are hand-woven. The wool is always hand-processed: it´s sheared, washed and spun only by hand. Thanks to this handmade process our wool keeps all its natural properties:

Eco friendly
A natural temperatura regulator (when its warm the wool naturally cools down and the other way around)
Flame proof : wool does not set on fire, it will eventually burn down if in a large fire but it won't generate flames.
Stain resistant: since its rich in lanolin, it naturally keeps stains, liquids and dirt away
