Know before you buy
This blend offers a balanced texture. The Merino provides a soft, gentle touch against the skin, while the Corriedale fibers add structure and durability, ensuring the blanket remains cozy without losing its shape over time.
The pattern is created through the weaving process itself, using variations in the warp and weft threads. This technique results in a rich, integrated color depth rather than a printed design.
Yes, Peruvian highland wool is naturally temperature-regulating. It provides warmth during cooler months while remaining breathable enough for milder seasons, making it a versatile layer for your living space.
Because of the high-quality natural fibers, we recommend professional dry cleaning to maintain the integrity of the weave and the vibrancy of the colors. Avoid machine washing to prevent felting or shrinkage.
Beyond the geometric color blocks, the blanket features decorative fringes and distinct selvedge edges. These subtle finishing touches highlight the craftsmanship behind the textile and add a refined, tactile quality to the design.
