Layers Blanket, Brick Red

These 100% natural wool blankets are dyed using natural plant-based dyes. The wool comes from local family-farmed sheep, without the use of chemical pesticides. The white, gray, and black colors are the three natural sheep’s wool tones, while other accent colors are made from elderberry fruits, tree barks, plant leaves, cochineal insects, and indigo. The wool is sheared by hand, washed, hand-carded, hand-spun, and then boiled in open air vats with natural dyes and air-dried before being hand-woven on the artisanal foot-loom by a family workshop in Momostenango. After weaving the blankets are boiled again, air dried, and then brushed by hand to create their soft felted texture. All wool blankets are color-fast. Dry clean only. Three sizes: Throw, Twin and Queen.
