The Peruvian Textile History

Going back almost 10,000 years, Peru has one of the longest histories of textile production in the world. When humans first started using agriculture, Peruvian fiber manipulation began with spun fibers that were used to make cords and nets. This was followed by using looms to spin animal-based fibers like alpaca and llama wool, as well as cotton fibers. The Peruvian civilization has been producing cotton for more than 4,500 years. In this context, the pre-Incan process of spinning and fabric production can still be considered valid today.

Processing Cotton In The Peruvian Textile Industry

秘鲁使用传统hand-picking methods for cotton, which allows a more brilliant white and softness in the fiber because machine-picked cotton tends to get scratched and yellowed during mechanical treatment processes. The primary varieties found in Peru are Pima, an extra-long staple fiber (ELS) and Tanguis, a long stable cotton (LS). Pima is harvested in the northern region of Piura, while Tanguis is primarily grown in the central coastal region of Peru. Overall, Peruvian cotton blends are widely recognized as high-quality, fine, soft and durable fibers.

The Peruvian apparel industry is specialized in knitted cotton garments, and its main competitive advantage is its level of integration. The production chain is fully integrated, from the fiber through to yarn production, fabric manufacturing and production of the final garment. This integration is strengthened by the constant technological modernization of factories and the high level of specialization achieved by entrepreneurs and workers.

About 4,000 tons of yarn — out of the total of 7,000 tons of yarn that is produced each month — goes into the spinning of locally grown cotton like Pima or Tanguis. The following Trützschler customers have dedicated themselves to this.
