Characteristics edit

It is considered as a little and peaceful city with its big houses with straw roofs and ancestral streets. It is known specially for its most notable craftsmanship: the ao po'i, a fine cloth made in cotton that could be seen in shirts, dresses, blouses, sheets and others. Hundreds of artisans of Yataity get ready for the "Typical Vestments Market" made in the central square every November.

The annual expo of ao po'i is a chance for the artisans of the zone to show their creativity. This pieces shows up their fine finishing and high quality. It is estimated that around 2,200 people dedicate to the manufacture of ao po'i in this district, making of it a source of employment. Most of the specialized artisans are from Yataity, where thanks to the support of private companies, they could combine tradition and modernity for a trade of shirts that reunites the required quality standards for export.

The ao po'i is made by hand in a 100% cotton fabric that appeared in the 18th century due to the commercial lockout imposed by Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia. The women had to manually tailor the cotton to make the vestments. "We know that the production of ao po'i has extended to other places of the country, but we can assure that the best clothes made in ao po'i are from the artisans of Yataity" says the inhabitants of the district.
