1. Awayo:
Las telas a rayas del tipo aguayo son aplicadas a distintas labores antiguas y
actuales: uncus, talegas, costales, axsus (prendas femeninas que cubren la
espalda), chuspas, etcétera. Cuando un sector de la tela permanece liso, se lo
denomina “pampa” y las rayas pueden comprimirse hacia ambos extremos. Como
queda establecido a partir de los colores del ave “allgamari”, un aguayo puede ser
simplemente blanco y negro o de tonos naturales tenues.
El cambio de las costumbres llevó a teñir los aguayos de estridentes tintes, que son el
placer de los nativos y también de los turistas y que sirven para destacarse en el
paisaje terroso de Los Andes.
2. Sarape o Jorongo.-
El sarape o jorongo es una prenda de vestir masculina que porta el hombre de campo
para cubrirse de la lluvia y el frío, es un atuendo considerado mexicano proveniente de
la ciudad de Saltillo y que semeja al poncho utilizado en la región andina.
Striped aguayo fabrics are applied to different old and current tasks: uncus, bags,
sacks, axsus (female garments that cover the back), sweaters, etc. When a sector of
the fabric remains smooth, it is called "pampa" and the stripes can be compressed
towards both ends. As it is established from the colors of the bird "allgamari", a aguayo
can be simply black and white or of faint natural tones.
The change in customs led to dyeing the rains of raucous dyes, which are the pleasure
of the natives and also of the tourists and that serve to stand out in the earthy
landscape of the Andes.
2. Sarape o Jorongo.-
The sarape or jorongo is a male garment that the country man wears to cover himself
with rain and cold, it is considered a Mexican outfit from the city of Saltillo and
resembles the poncho used in the Andean region.
It is the pledge of great tradition in southern, central and northern Mexico (to whom the
denomination is awarded), although it is reminiscent of its origin in the colonial era of
New Spain, it is a syncretized design with pre-Hispanic and Iberian motifs, It is
manufactured with cotton fiber or sheep wool, the thread is multi-colored and the
designs are unique; Among the reasons are the freckles, horseshoes or zoomorphic
figures.
In its long history the serape powerfully called the attention of its own and strangers
and became an object coveted by visitors and a great gift of Mexican rulers. The
harmony of the "sarapes of Saltillo", the sensibility and mastery in the spinning,
weaving, design and color that gave them life, became the legacy and lasting testimony
of the anonymous weavers whose secret one hopes to discover one day.
