This item was sourced by Mari from our partners in Momostenango. What a treasure to wrap yourself up in this warm blanket! It is heavier-weight than most of the contemporary wool blankets made, with both warp and weft in local sheep wool, felted together by washing.
Wool products represent a significant source of income for the town of Momostenango. From caring for the sheep, shearing, cleaning, spinning... all the way to weaving and then felting and teasing... it is all hard work, and a tradition that we hope will continue in the town.
This size is ample for a single bed, and is also suitable for a double bed with limited draping. It also makes a wonderful throw on the sofa or for outdoor use on chilly days. Imagine stargazing being wrapped up in the warmth of Momos wool.
Measurements:
55 inches wide, 67 inches long plus 2 inches of fringes.
Material:
100% local wool for both warp and weft.
Care:
Machine-washable in a gentle cycle or wool cycle in cold water with gentle detergent. Line dry. But we recommend washing seldomly. Take a look at our wool care guide on our blog first.
