Textile craft in Val de San Lorenzo, León (Spain) goes back to the XVII century when you could find up to 80 textile artisans in this village until the XIX century when there was a deep textile crisis in Spain. The maragato crafters had to mechanize their production to be able to compete with the rest of the world.
By 1858, maragato blankets were among the most appreciated blankets in Europe and these tiny village weavers still use the traditional wool combing technique they used back then known as “hollow-fiber”, which means that in the fiber there is trapped air that offers natural insulation resulting in extremely warm blankets. At the beginning of the industrial revolution and into the 20th century, the Val de San Lorenzo became the epicentre of a modern light wool blanket industry. |
