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. Inspired by this long tradition, the Rumina and Mellona models combine the appearance of the past with the comfort of modern fabrics, making them the perfect choice for historical reenactors and lovers of natural, high-quality textiles alike.
These blankets are made from 100% New Zealand 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.
Rumina delights with its smooth, uniform texture and subtle color palette inspired by historical iconography. Mellona is a proposition for those seeking a more historically accurate effect—its melange hue, created by blending fibers of various shades, faithfully reflects the look of old fabrics. At the same time, it is an ideal blanket for allergy sufferers thanks to the gentleness of the fibers.
Both Rumina and Mellona are designed with historical reenactment in mind, but they are equally suited for everyday use. Perfect 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.
Both models are woven in a twill weave, which provides durability and flexibility to the fabric. A weight of 390 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 period iconography.
Whether you choose the subtle elegance of Rumina or the rustic charm of Mellona, you receive a natural merino wool blanket that blends tradition with everyday functionality.
