Woolen cloak-blankets have accompanied humanity for thousands of years. The earliest archaeological findings of such garments date back to the Bronze Age, and their remarkable versatility ensured their continuous use up until the late Middle Ages.
Moreover, numerous examples can be found in iconography—historical woolen blankets appear, for instance, in the Eadwine Psalter - c. 1150 (on left) and the Tacuinum Sanitatis from the second half of the 14th century.
A historical cloak is a practical solution for any weather and situation. Venus blankets refer to weaving techniques popular in the Middle Ages. They are woven in a 2/2 twill on a white warp, which highlights the classic stripes characteristic of this weave. This not only preserves the historical accuracy of the cloak-blankets but also gives them a decorative appearance.
These blankets are made from 100% australian merino wool — a material valued for its exceptional softness, breathability, and thermal insulation. A merino wool blanket does not itch or irritate even the most sensitive skin, while providing excellent warmth.
Venus blankets not only look like they came straight out of the historical period, but they are also lighter than other blankets in this category. Woven from the finest merino wool sourced from Australia, they are an excellent choice especially for people with sensitive skin, including children and infants.
Venus is the lightest blanket that wraps perfectly, providing warmth even to the most sensitive individuals. They are not only suitable for historical reenactment but also as interior decor elements or everyday items, such as:
- lightweight cloaks for historical events,
- merino picnic blankets,
- bedspreads,
- travel companions on camping trips.
Their classic look and high functionality make them ideal for chilly evenings and summer festivals alike. Beyond historical use, these lightweight and soft woolen blankets are a stylish addition to any home—ideal as a cozy throw for the couch or an extra layer of warmth on winter nights.
All of merino blankets are woven in a twill weave, which provides durability and flexibility to the fabric. A weight of 290 g/m² ensures excellent thermal comfort without unnecessary bulk.
The wool blanket with fringes features an elegant finish and historical character, with colors matched to natural dyes that closely reflect the tones seen in iconography.
By choosing the softness of Venus, you get a perfect blend of historical authenticity and everyday functionality.
