Know before you buy
Introduced in 1992, the pattern honors tribal Elders and their wisdom. The geometric design symbolizes the interconnectedness of all things, using colors to represent humankind, Mother Earth, the celestial bodies, and the four directions.
The napped finish gives the wool a softer, plush texture compared to an unnapped blanket. This process creates a thicker, more insulating surface that feels cozy and substantial against the skin.
To maintain the integrity of the wool and the felt binding, this blanket must be dry cleaned. Avoid machine washing or drying, as these methods can cause the wool fibers to shrink or felt improperly.
Measuring 64" x 80", this is a standard throw size. While it is excellent for layering at the foot of a bed or using on a sofa, it may not provide full coverage for a queen or king-sized mattress.
The felt binding is stitched around the edges to prevent fraying and provide a clean, durable finish. It adds a layer of structural reinforcement to the blanket, ensuring it holds its shape over years of use.
