100% Virgin Wool Poncho Rainbow Brown

100% Virgin Wool Poncho Rainbow Brown

The Maragato Poncho from La Moderna Singular is much more than a simple accessory: it is a piece of 100% Spanish craftsmanship that pays homage to the textile tradition of the Leonese region of La Maragatería.

The Legacy of the Maragatos

Historically, the Maragatos were known as traders and muleteers who traveled long distances enduring harsh weather. To protect themselves, they developed a special technique for weaving blankets and garments from virgin wool, creating textiles renowned for being exceptionally warm, durable, and incredibly soft. This poncho is the direct descendant of that functional and robust tradition.

Why is it unique?

· Authentic Fabric: Manufactured following traditional methods of the area, which guarantees a dense but pleasant texture to the touch.
• Comfort and Mobility: Despite its weight (approximately 1 kg) and thickness, it is designed to wrap without restricting movement, ideal for both the countryside and urban use in winter.
· Stylistic Versatility: Although it originates in the rustic or "rociero" sphere, its timeless design makes it a highly distinctive accessory for current looks.

Care instructions: Machine washable (with a trick!)

Unlike other delicate garments, this poncho has been designed for practicality. It's machine washable, debunking the myth that virgin wool requires dry cleaning only.

However, to ensure the poncho retains its shape and texture, it is essential to follow these instructions:

· Specific program: You must use the "Wool" or "Delicate" cycle.
• Temperature: Always use cold or lukewarm water (max. 30º). Sudden temperature changes or heat will shrink the wool.
• Detergent: Use a soap specifically for wool or a mild, neutral detergent. No bleach or harsh fabric softeners.
• Drying: Do not use a dryer. Let it dry horizontally (spread out on a towel) and in the shade so that it does not lose its shape or yellow.

In short, buying this poncho at La Moderna Singular means taking home a piece of Spanish history and craftsmanship, with the peace of mind of knowing that you are acquiring a quality product that is easy to maintain on a daily basis.
