Throws made from pure sheep wool and natural dyes from Santiago del Estero. Created by the hands of rural working women who raise and shear the sheep, and then weave, dye, and knit the wool using flat weaving techniques. Each piece is the result of 60 hours of labor. The textile art of Santiago del Estero is part of Argentina's cultural heritage and contains multiple stories and traditions.
Reference dimensions:

Care: We suggest using an anti-slip mat or pads under your rug. For cleanup, use a vacuum —avoid brushing, sweeping or using friction. Avoid direct sunlight and incandescent lighting. Most stains can be removed at home. For deep cleaning, dry clean only.
