Hello and Welcome to the Textile Trunk This beautiful textile is an antique hand-woven hemp and wool blanket. This stunning blanket was woven by hand in the Carpathian Mountain Region of Europe about 100-120 years ago.
These blankets are rare and wonderful, with a beautiful natural texture and look! This blanket uses a complex weave and is woven using both linen (heavy hemp) and natural wool from goats. The colors are a pale natural hemp off-white, a muted gray-blue, mossy green, and a faded blood orange red.The woven plaid stripes appear on both sides. This blanket was constructed by first hand weaving the 2 lengths, which were then hand stitched together in a very primitive hand stitched seam down the middle. The ends are hand stitched with a hem. This lovely heavy textile weighs over 6 pounds and has a wonderful natural, heavy & floppy texture! The complex weave is beautiful and incorporates the stripes for a stunning effect!
Beautiful and heavy weight gorgeous quality. It would make a STUNNING throw or small bed cover or could also be used as upholstery, pillow or heavy curtain fabric. A perfect gift for any textile lover and a wonderful textile for any collection! (E45) CONDITION : This blanket is in as found condition. We recommend dry cleaning this blanket if you choose to wash, as the dye will bleed in a home washing machine.There may be some small voids in the weave since this is wool. One or two pale marks that may or may not wash fully.
