EL JORONGO CUSTOM DESIGN
WOOL RUGS & SWEATERS

El Jorongo Custom Design Wool Rugs & Sweaters is pleased to offer online access to our many customers who have purchased our handwoven wool area rugs and handknit Merino wool sweaters in Pátzcuaro, Michoacán, México since 1970.

E l Jorongo is a family-run weaving and knitting business begun by owners Sabino and Ruth Aguilar in 1970. It is based on the cottage industry production of handwoven wool rugs, handknit wool sweaters, wool capes, ski hats and just about anything that can be created by hand from wool. Sabino selects and buys the wool in fleece from sheep ranchers in the surrounding area and has it washed, carded and spun by the López family. Ruth dyes the wool by hand using both plant and aniline dyes depending on the season and the colors needed. The wool is given out to El Jorongo's team of expert hand-knitters, most of whom are aunts, cousins, nieces and relatives of Sabino's family, and to the Servin family weavers who then elaborate each handloomed piece in their homes. Various members of the Aguilar family do additional sewing, and add buttons and other finishing touches. This specialization in each of the many steps required to handloom our products from fleece allows El J orongo to offer superior quality at reasonable prices.

We are especially proud of our incredibly soft 100% Merino wool sheared from purebred Merino sheep and will mail you a free sample of this wool at your request.

We invite you to browse and choose from this selection of our beautiful, handwoven, hand-dyed wool rugs, handknit Merino wool sweaters, natural Criollo wool sweaters, Blend sweaters, decorative wall hangings, wool capes, ski hats, shawls and ruanas.

Those who wish to custom order or see exceptionally different rugs will be interested in our Custom Design Wool Rug Gallery where you may see some of the custom designs we have handwoven to order.
