Handmade
Materials: Wool

Just look at this wool blanket, it's a unique and incredible item made of natural sheep wool only in the region of the Carpathian Mountains in Ukraine. We call it "lizhnyk". You will not find such thing anywhere else. The texture of the blanket can't be repeated, because of its handmade nature, it is hand woven with a special wooden loom.
After becoming the happy owner of the incredibly beautiful and practical article, each one determines for himself how to use lizhnyk. It is a bedspread, a blanket, decor for the walls, and a beautiful gift :)

➤ How it is made (see video in the about section):

To make one medium sized blanket you had to work long and hard. I use only natural wool from sheep that were raised in the high Carpathian mountain pastures, and natural dyes.
At first you have to wash and dry the wool thoroughly, the comb it with a special tool, which makes the wool puff up and resemble a cloud.
The combed wool is easily manipulated and 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 and fluffy.

➤ Recommended care:

Instead of wasting your time, give your item a nice vigorous shake, and 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 and 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.

If you have any questions or you would like to have a customized order, please don't hesitate to contact me :)
