Handwoven in Catamarca, Argentina

A handwoven Argentine poncho shaped by natural wool, ancestral loom work and the bold geometry of Argollas motifs.

The Huinganco poncho is an Argollas sheep wool piece, woven by hand on a traditional horizontal criollo loom using ancestral techniques passed down through generations.

Its circular motifs resemble natural animal markings and are created through the plangit tie-dye technique, where sections of the finished fabric are tied before dyeing to preserve the natural wool color in the ring shapes. Hand-dyed in deep black tones with natural pigments, this one-cloth poncho carries a sober and powerful expression of Argentine textile tradition.
