TexAndes sources the rarest and most luxurious camelid fibers from the Andes and Patagonia, blending ancestral knowledge with modern refinement. Our design and development team works alongside local communities to transform the exceptional fibers of the Andes and Patagonia into sophisticated, market-ready yarns and textiles. Our processes are rigorously audited to international sustainability standards, including an 89.0 B Corp certification.
This is how it begins...
From Nature to Fiber
The species
Naturally adapted south american camelids are uniquely adapted to their environment and found only in this region. Mostly protected species in Argentina, they thrive in extreme conditions from the mountainous pure to the arid plains of Patagonia.
The Fiber
Luxury and performance at up to 15,000 ft, extreme Puna conditions shape camelids to develop hollow floers, delivering exceptional insulation without added weight.
The Ecosystem
Free-range and wild camelid herds live in their natural habitat, where local and indigenous communities use ancestral shearing techniques that minimize stress and contact.
The origin
Sourced from Argentinian Andes, securing a 100% traceable, single-origin supply chain from the high plains to the Parque Industrial El Pantanillo.
From Fiber to Yarn
Shearing and Classification
Ancestral shearing and careful selection marks the first stage.
Technological Dehairing
Using proprietary Italian dehairing technology, the finest fibers are selected.
Spinner boutique
Long-staple and short-staple balanced blends of natural fibers.
Slow speed weaving
Prevents fiber stress, accommodating the delicate nature of hand conditioned yarn.
