Natural Fibers

Nuestras fibras naturales, propiedades y usos en nuestros tejidos


As a firm, we have focused on weaving exclusively with natural fibers, discarding artificial fibers. Natural fibers are the best for the human being, the most pleasant to wear and the least expensive for the environment, getting more exquisite pieces. The different types of fibres are generally acquired by us already spun and dyed, we do not exercise the profession of spinners and dyers. Sometimes we weave with natural unspun fibers such as wool fleece, mohair or jute fibers, coconut and have dyed wool with vegetable dyes. We always check the quality of the fibres, gathering information on their origin and uses of dyes, in our case, they are European dyes, highlighting the use of organic cotton with ecological certification and recycled cotton. We are one of the few artisan weaving workshops in Spain that offers this type of piece.


The natural fibres used are merino wool, organic wool, alpaca, baby alpaca and silk,cashmere, mohair, silk, flax, organic flax, hemp, cotton, organic cotton, recycled cotton, ramie, bamboo, soya, jute and coconut with multiple combinations between them.
