Large woolen blanket, hand-woven
This hand-spun unique wool blanket is made from 100% virgin sheep's wool. Blankets like this are rarely made by hand due to the great effort involved and are good replicas of blankets from the Middle Ages. The blankets are never made from one piece; depending on the size, they are hand-sewn from two to three pieces, which is due to the size of the loom (70 cm (27.6 inches) wide per weaving panel).
The wool comes from mountain sheep from the production company's own sheep in the Maramures Mountains. The wool is only washed in spring water, which means that the blankets contain a lot of valuable lanolin (fat), which makes the blankets quite dirt-resistant and almost waterproof. The wool is not dyed unless the blanket has colored stripes.
Due to the dense weave, the heavy quality and the existing wool grease, the blankets are extremely heat-insulating and also withstand rain showers well. They can therefore be used for any camp!
