Prim Media 1786 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 headwear for babies and young children 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 rise of hand knitting, domestic production expanded to include a wide range of garments such as jackets and sweaters, as well as accessories like gloves, hats, and scarves. The baby bonnet is not part of traditional Asturian attire, but it has been adopted in modern times thanks to the growing popularity of knitted fabrics. This particular model, made from native sheep’s wool, aims to be a contemporary garment that also evokes the past. Its purpose is to reconnect clothing traditions with cultural identity and the surrounding landscape.
