This is a new traditional woven "Maragato Blanket" made with pure virgin sheep wool.
This sofa or travel blanket is made with 100% virgin sheep wool, all processed in one place and by one family making this a truly sustainable and local product. This was all designed and made - even the fringe is twisted by hand one by one - by Gaspar's family. They always work with neutral colors that come originally from the wool and add colourful tones like the one we have here, creating a funny yet classical sofa throw.

Textile craft in León (Spain) goes back to the XVII century, when you could find up to 80 textile artisans in this village until the XIX century, when there was a deep textile crisis in Spain. The maragato crafters had to mechanize their production to be able to compete with the rest of the world. By 1858, maragato blankets where among the most appreciated blankets in Europe and these tiny village weavers still use the traditional wool combing technique they used back then known as “hollow-fibre”, which means that in the fibre there is trapped air that offers natural insulation resulting in extremely warm blankets.

Like the bay in the back? Don't zoom in, it's a nudist beach. We are standing over a roman harbour that was built to carry stone from a nearby quarry to Tarraco (now Tarragona) the oldest Roman settlement in Spain and the capital of the Roman Hispania. You can see Tarragona in the back of some photos. We appreciate our nature, landscapes and history and really enjoy sharing it here.

I love this blanket so much. The quality is fantastic. It's thin and light enough but very very warm. The colors are just lovely. I can tell that it's a very sturdy blanket because my cat likes to bunny kick blankets - this one shows no signs of wear or tear :)
