Product description and history:

This collection "Los Fueguitos" to which these handmade wool scarves of different colors belong, is inspired by the story "Un Mar de Fueguitos" by Eduardo Galeano, from his book "Los abrazos", where he says that each person is different from the others.

It says in this text that "no two fires are alike and that each fire has its own color. There are people who have serene fires, which the wind does not even notice, and there are people with crazy fires that fill the air with sparks. Some foolish fires, do not ignite or burn, but others, others burn their lives with so much anxiety that you can not stop looking at them without blinking and whoever comes close ignites".

The fact that they are handmade makes these handcrafted wool scarves unique.

The fact that they are handmade makes these handcrafted wool scarves as unique as the people. They symbolize the passion for life, the authenticity of each of the people who own them, tucking and caring for the difference.

Like the blankets, these handmade wool maxi scarves are a contemporary handmade product with a modern design, woven on our looms with a technique, developed by us, based on an ancient Galician technique called "Gorullo". This ancient technique used to make loops with a rod in the fabric when weaving it on the loom.

I make these handmade maxi scarves on my loom with a looped wool, and I remove each loop one by one, by hand, with my fingers, placing it to make a piece that has a different right and a different back, making drawings with the wool as small "hearts".

The weft is made with different soft materials, such as merino wool with silk or mohair, alpaca,... in different colors. We make these scarves one by one on handloom, and it takes a week to weave them. 

These maxi scarves are special and unique.

These scarves are special and unique because the wool with which they are made comes from the remains of old factories already closed and we have limited pieces for each color. 

 On the other hand, they are light, soft, delicate and very loving, with a pleasant touch and volume. The colors are combined in relation to the different materials in bands of different wools.  

You can also order a scarf to your liking, with some variation.
