Description
This blanket stands apart from many weighted competitors with its unique construction & excellent cooling properties. While traditional weighted blankets are designed like duvets filled with glass or plastic pellets, this model is composed of hand-woven wool yarns. The blanket is made with 100% sheep wool that feels heavy but does not trap body heat. Thanks to its nature, it is breathable. Basic information Dimensions: see above Material: Carpathian sheep wool Weight: 7-15 lb (3-7 kg) ➤ How it is made (see video in the about section): To make one medium sized blanket you had to work long & hard. I use only natural wool from sheep that were raised in the high Carpathian mountain pastures, & natural dyes. At first you have to wash & dry the wool thoroughly, the comb it with a special tool, which makes the wool puff up & resemble a cloud. The combed wool is easily manipulated & made into threads, which are then used to make a lizhnyk on a loom (handmade looms are mostly used in the mountains). The woven product is then placed in a special device - called 'valylo', a huge wooden barrel, narrowed down to the bottom. Water is then piped in with great force. The flow of water rapidly rises, creating a whirlpool in which the blankets spin for hours. After this process lizhnyks become tight & fluffy. ➤ Recommended care: Instead of wasting your time, give your item a nice vigorous shake, & most of the stuff stuck to it will come off :) If you accidentally spilled something like coffee or wine on it, run that area of the item under slightly warm water. Once the stain has been washed out give it a gentle squeeze. Afterward, put the item on a surface where it's going to get a lot of air & make sure to flip it periodically until it dries. For the rugs, you can use a vacuum cleaner. in case the item is quite dirty, please use dry clean.
