Art/Literary - Textiles / Clothing / Fashion | | Spanish term or phrase: procuró a los tejedores fuera de | fyi The obraje is a large weaving workshop, usually at a hacienda. Does this mean that he hired them away from the obrajes, or that he got weavers who were not in obrajes?
En 1732 llegaría Manuel Tomás de la Canal y Bueno de Baeza, un criollo adinerado, quien no sólo gastó en mejorar la villa sino que favorecía con sus avíos a los tejedores, otorgándoles suficiente lana entre trasquilas, les fiaba algodón y otras materias primas sin cobrar intereses. Es decir, ***procuró a los tejedores fuera de*** los obrajes, quizás los de trapiches y telares sueltos. |
