Description

90 Varas is a unique collection made with transhumant Merino wool that pays tribute to Spain’s pastoral tradition. Its distinctive melange colors, with natural shades and highlights bring a special beauty to every skein, reflecting the richness of their landscapes. With every project, you support the preservation of transhumance, a sustainable and cultural practice that deserves to be safeguarded for future generations. This soft, warm yarn is full of depth and is dyed into melange shades with natural shades with highlights making it ideal for cozy sweaters and accessories.

Transhumance, recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, connects seasons, landscapes and history through the cañadas reales, ancient drovers’ roads that still preserve the essence of this sustainable grazing system. The name of this collection, 90 Varas, refers to the traditional unit of measurement once based on the vara, a staff carried by shepherds for support and, in earlier centuries, also used as a measuring tool. The standard width of these routes was set at 90 varas, equivalent to 75 meters.  Stretching more than 125,000 kilometers and covering 1% of Spanish territory, they stand as a living testimony to the balance between nature and human activity.
