On Nash Island, off the coast of Maine, live a flock of sheep that have been untended for generations. This local breed provides fleeces to the coastal craftspeople who create the Swan’s Island Winter Blanket. Hand-dyed with all natural materials and painstakingly handwoven, each blanket is created to the highest standards using only the cleanest and softest fleece. Unlike mass produced textiles, a handwoven blanket shows the authenticity of the craftspeople who made it – from the tightness of the weave to subtle changes in color, each blanket stands apart from any other.
This blanket uses a winter weave – 2 layers of wool for warmth - and the edges are finished with silk threads. After being carefully inspected, each blanket is shipped in a custom designed linen storage bag, with slats of protective aromatic cedar.
The Swan’s Island Winter Blanket is a simple luxury, tapping into our longings for authentic items that provide both utility and beauty.
Available in Single (70" x90"), Double/Queen (90" x 90"), and King (110" x 90")
