Chaguar-Natural fiber-Linen
What is Chaguar? It is a plant found in the semi-arid Chaco of South America in the countries of Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia, whose resistant fiber is used since time immemorial by the Wichí. It is not cultivated; it grows in the semi-shade of the middle stratum of the Chaco forests, and reproduces by stolons.
The different colors are obtained from natural dyes and each step involves a slow and manual process.
The chaguar is culturally important to the Wichí people. Currently, chaguar represents a source of economic income for the communities through the sale of handmade products, which in turn allows them to perpetuate cultural transmission and the maintenance of ancestral knowledge.
