Production cycle and process
Complete traceability of Patagonian wool up to its transformation into material for clothing.
Estancia Punta Del Monte
La lana PatagonWool® tiene su origen en Estancia Punta del Monte, un proyecto familiar de los Galilea Carrillo dedicado a la crianza ovina en el corazón de la Patagonia desde 1975. Trabajamos directamente con ellos, sin intermediarios, construyendo una relación cercana que nos permite conocer el origen de la fibra y asegurar su trazabilidad desde el campo hasta cada etapa del proceso.
Wool Stages
Shearing
Shearing of the sheep's fleece, carefully performed to obtain the fiber without damaging it. The raw material is obtained, still containing natural impurities.
Fiber classification
Separation of wool by quality, length, fineness, and cleanliness. It allows for defining end uses and standardizing the material.
Washed
Deep cleaning of the wool to remove grease (lanolin), dirt, and residues. Leaves the fiber ready for subsequent processes.
Hairstyle and backcombing
Alignment and disentanglement of fibers, removing the shortest ones or remaining impurities. A uniform and continuous web is formed.
Yarn
Fiber transformation into yarn through twisting. This defines the yarn's thickness, strength, and texture.
Tie-dyed
Application of color to yarn or fiber using specific dyes. Adds aesthetics and value to the final product.
Dyeing and tailoring
The interlacing of threads to create a fabric or textile structure. It defines the pattern, elasticity, and use of the material.

Wool is obtained through shearing, a necessary and safe process for sheep, which does not harm them when carried out correctly.
In fact, it is essential for their well-being, as excessive wool accumulation can lead to overheating, dirt, and skin infections. Removing this weight improves their hygiene, mobility, and overall health.
This process, carried out periodically and in a controlled manner, allows for the obtaining of a high-value natural fiber without compromising animal welfare.
