Three Tones Wool Blanket
£190.00
Our beautiful fluffy blankets are made in the Guarda region of northern Portugal, traditionally known as a production area of superior quality wool.
The sole craftsman who holds the ancient knowledge of manually producing these blankets weaves them in an original wooden 19th century loom.
The continuous weaving produces a several metres long cloth that is marked with a different colour thread at regular intervals, which indicate the cutting mark of the blankets. At the end of each weave round, the cloth is mauled by two giant chestnut wood mallets, washed to become slightly felted, and cut at the blue marks to obtain individual blankets.
This piece is particularly popular in the Japanese market. It is less felted and carded.
Not only will they keep you warm during the cold winter season, but to own one of these blankets is to own a piece of Portuguese tradition.
