115,00 

HAND WOVEN blankets from HAND SPUN threads.

Hand-woven blankets made of hand-spun wool are a secret dream not only of every reenactor. They are extremely warm, thick and at the same time universal. Our thick wool blankets have one side brushed so the wool is not itchy, while on the other side you can see the weaving pattern perfectly.

They are perfect for any, not only camp, conditions: they can be used as a sleeping bag, they are suitable as a cold insulator at the campfire, and in a crisis situation they can even replace a coat.

What's more, they also perfectly coexist with us in the off-season: who doesn't dream of a warm tea and a pleasant rest under a blanket on an autumn-winter evening... And you? What is your task for them?

OTHER FABRICS FROM THIS COLLECTION

Female hands holding a shuttle while manually weaving a blanket on horizontal looms.For thousands of years, mankind has obtained fabrics by manually spinning and weaving wool and vegetable fibers. That is why we meet the expectations of our customers and obtain materials and products that are manufactured as they were hundreds of years ago.

That is why we decided to introduce hand-woven blankets to our offer, which will suit every era and for home use.

If you want to learn more about it, check out our article about hand-woven blankets!

A man shearing a sheep with manual shears.The wool for our blankets comes from long-haired Carpathian sheep. Twice a year, the sheep are sheared and the wool is processed on site by local craftsmen. The shearing process is carried out as it was centuries ago: with manual shears, without excessive stress to the animals. Want to know more about how it's done? See photos and description of the process on our blog!

After collecting the wool, it is properly prepared: combed and carded. Then it is ready for further processing:

  1. First, it is spun by hand using spindles. Such a process takes a lot of time, which is why many women are involved in it at the same time!
  2. Some of the finished yarn is dyed. As a result, the blankets have colored stripes.
  3. After the wool is ready, it's time to weave the blanket: on our blog you will find a full description and photos of the process - click here!

Skeins of red wool drying together on strings with corn cobs.Carpathian sheep wool is naturally white, gray, brown or black. If you care about having an undyed blanket, you can choose completely white or with stripes in this colours. Other colors, such as red, orange, green or pink, are obtained in the dyeing process. You can read more about it on our blog in the post about creating a hand-woven blanket.

In addition to historical correctness (which is very important for reenactors), the undeniable advantages of hand-woven blankets include:

  • uniqueness - each blanket has a unique pattern of stripes,
  • good thermal insulation - wool is a natural thermoactive fiber,
  • vapor permeable fabric - sweat evaporates during sleep, because the plain weave is not too tight,
  • universality - hand-woven blankets are suitable for every historical era (from antiquity to modern times),
  • versatile - you can use them in any situation: from a sleeping bag to a coat.

Colour note!

Selling fabrics through the internet it is not an easy task, since our customers cannot see them in reality.
One of the most important factors, that make you decide whether to buy a fabric or not, is to get the right COLOUR that you are looking for, matching your entire costume and its accessories.

This is why at Woolsome shop we do our best to fulfill your expectations.

We've decided to use a professional photo studio and a special colour checker system to achieve an ideal colour representation of all our product pictures.
Our goal was to present them exactly as they appear in reality.

However it has to be noticed, that your computer's monitor (or mobile phone) can have tweaked settings and therefore may sometimes display colours differently than they are in reality.
It also play a role if you look at your screen :

  • in daylight, or in a shaded room
  • frontally or at a certain angle

It is all very tricky, and you should be also aware, that modern electronic devices have usually the biggest problem to present properly shades of the COLOUR RED.

While watching all different pictures, that we've prepared for each of our products, you will also notice that the main picture (being a frontal close-up) will always be a bit darker comparing to the other pictures presenting a an entire textile from a distance. It is natural, as our eyes are also perceiving the colours differently, depending on the strength and direction of the light around you.

Many of our historical fabrics are woven in a way, that the warp and the weft are in two different colours. As a result these textiles will look differently from close-up, where you can still clearly see the difference between these two different threads. When from the further distance, this fabric will present slightly different colour, being a result of a mix of those two.

We hope, that our photographical efforts will bring you full satisfaction, so that you will find in your package what you expected.

However, please always consider asking for samples first, before your purchase.  We also offer full sets of samples of each of our textile collection.
