Watercolors Blankets
Price range: $995 through $1,195
Product Description
Watercolors Blankets weave together art and fine craftsmanship. Each 100% organic merino wool blanket is woven by hand with our incredibly soft, Ikat-dyed organic wool yarn . This hand-dyed yarn is resist-dyed first, then saturated with indigo to create variegated, painterly shades of color.
Inspired by the coastal waters of Maine, the beautiful patterning in each blanket is unique. The rich, painterly transitions between hues suggest the variegated colors of light on the water. Because of our unique hand-dyeing process, no two blankets are exactly alike. You cannot find these blankets anywhere else! This unique soft Merino wool blanket will keep you cozy while adding a delightful splash of elegance to your home.
The Watercolors blanket is finished with handwoven silk edges and comes in our signature linen storage bag. Please note on king size blankets, patterning runs vertically on the bed. The Watercolors pattern is also available in throw size.
