Know before you buy
This blanket is not machine washable. To maintain the integrity of the wool and cotton blend, we recommend dry cleaning only.
Yes, the intricate Jacquard weave and cultural significance make it an excellent piece for display. You can easily mount it on a wall using a rod or clips to showcase the design.
A napped finish means the fabric has been brushed to raise the fibers, creating a softer, plush, and more velvety feel against the skin compared to an un-napped wool blanket.
The Jacquard weaving process creates a reverse image, meaning the colors are inverted on the back side. While it is not strictly reversible, both sides feature the same geometric pattern.
Because this blanket is crafted from a blend of virgin wool and cotton, it is not hypoallergenic. If you have a known sensitivity to wool, you may want to consider using it as a decorative throw rather than for direct skin contact.
