Stone Arabie Tartan Blankets are deliciously warm and thick. They are handwoven to order from pure New Zealand wool. The wool is spun and dyed in Canada to produce a two-ply yarn which fulls beautifully to produce a soft and long-lasting blanket. After weaving, the blankets are hand washed in pure (hypoallergenic) soap and fulled to the required width. They are then hand-rinsed in mountain water.
My standard blanket size is 48 inches wide by 60 inches long (plus a 6 inch fringe at both ends), although the length will vary according to the size of the tartan pattern. I can, however, weave blankets up to a width of 108 inches. A standard blanket weighs a little over 3 lbs and after fulling is roughly a quarter of an inch thick. A standard width tartan blanket is currently priced at C$260 (plus delivery costs). Although I primarily weave blankets to order, I sometimes have a few in stock.
