Prim Media 1782 Material Virgin wool from Xalda sheep, available in three natural shades: black, grey, and white — the original colors of the animal. Natural Cultural Cultural Function Warm head scarf Creation Purpose Direct sale to customers. Technique The wool comes from local farms in Asturias and has been carefully selected by Marina, preserving the natural colors of the Xalda sheep breed (black, grey, and white). The raw material is sent to a specialized spinning mill, where it undergoes washing, carding, and spinning processes. Marina crafts these headscarves by hand, knitting with needles. At times, to speed up production, she collaborates with another artisan who uses a knitting machine (tricotosa), while maintaining the handcrafted nature of each piece. Material Source The wool comes from Xalda sheep raised on farms in Asturias. Conecept Knitted fabrics began to gain popularity in Spain during the 20th century. Before that, women knitted wool socks, stockings, and other garments at home using four needles. With the invention of knitting machines and the spread of hand knitting, domestic production expanded to include sweaters and jackets. The design of this headscarf recalls the traditional scarves worn by rural women as part of their attire until the early 20th century, as well as those used in everyday fashion for many years afterward. Today, the use of women’s headscarves has largely fallen out of practice. This model, made from native sheep’s wool —an innovation compared to traditional materials like linen or cotton— aims to offer a contemporary garment that also evokes the past. Its purpose is to reconnect clothing traditions with cultural identity and the surrounding landscape.

Title A name given to the resource Headscarf Type The nature or genre of the resource Physical Object Description An account of the resource This headscarf is made from pure virgin wool sourced from Xalda sheep, a native breed of Asturias. Its simple design is inspired by the traditional scarf that Asturian women used to wear to cover their heads until just a few decades ago. Although the traditional headscarf gradually disappeared with the rise of modern fashion, scarves continued to be used throughout the 20th century to keep the head warm during colder months. This reinterpretation of the traditional scarf, now crafted in knitted wool, is an original design by Marina. It was born out of a personal need for warmth and has evolved into a practical and versatile winter accessory, now available for purchase. Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource The headscarves are produced continuously, depending on the availability of raw materials and demand.
