Sheep wool
What would we do without wool! It is not for nothing that we have used this noble fiber of animal origin to dress ourselves for more than 2,000 years. In this collection you will find garments woven with wool from the most common breeds in Chile (Corriedale, Merino, Romney Marsh, Suffolk Down, Texel and the local sheep breed called Chilota) and that are raised by small southern sheepdogs and large ranchers in the endless pampas. from Patagonia. This fiber is sheared, washed, spun by hand and woven with looms and ancestral techniques of our native peoples.

Alpaca wool
We don't only shelter from southern sheep. In this long country we have our own Andean camelids, auquénids or Lamini. They belong to the Camelidae family but are a tribe of two genera (Lama and Vicugna) that brings together all the South American camelids or lamoids. On the one hand there are the domestic species, the Llama (Lama glama) and the Alpaca (Vicugna pacos), and on the other the wild ones, the Guanaco (Lama guanicoea) and the Vicuña (Vicugna vicugna). Enjoy this collection of garments woven with love with ancestral looms and techniques of the native peoples in this noble fiber that runs through the entire Andean culture.
Care
-
Alpaca and sheep wool pieces:
Like all wool garments, they should be washed by hand, with cold or lukewarm water (never hot) and delicate laundry detergent. If you choose to do it in the washing machine, let it be on the most delicate program, if not, in a sink or bathtub. It is recommended not to spin or squeeze, but to dry naturally in the shade, lying flat on towels so that they absorb moisture, not hanging so as not to deform them due to the weight of the water. Woolen garments are not ironed, and if strictly necessary, it should be done with steam and a towel over the garment so that it is never in direct contact with the iron.

Wool figurines, objects, dolls or toys:
Like all wool garments, they should be washed by hand, with cold or lukewarm water (never hot) and delicate laundry detergent. If you choose to do it in the washing machine, let it be on the most delicate program, if not, in a sink or bathtub. To dry, it is recommended to squeeze them with a towel and then rearrange the figure while it is wet and then let it dry naturally.

Felt and Skins:
As it is a seamless technique, but only made of pressed wool, felt objects should not be washed, as they tend to deform. You can give them a refreshing steam bath using a kettle or pot to boil water, but always being careful to do it delicately and taking care not to deform it.
The best care for sheepskins is to always keep them fluffy like sheep. If you sit on it permanently or your baby sleeps there all the time because he loves it, it will eventually start to flatten out. You need to brush and shake the fur regularly to prevent it from losing its tameness. You can vacuum it gently too, but take care of it from stains! In that case you will have to use a damp towel with mild soap and rub in the direction of the hair, but without abuse and let it dry naturally. Do not put it in the washing machine or dryer, and it is recommended that it avoid direct and prolonged sunlight.
