Khadi blanket, hand-woven in recycled wool by Storie

Product: handwoven upcycled wool blanket. These wool yarns are sourced from surplus raw materials from workshops and factories that manufacture wool products. The yarns are gathered and rolled into balls of wool that are then woven by traditional artisans. The traditional process is sustainable and the use of surplus wool makes it even more eco-friendly. The feel: a very warm, rustic blanket with a heavy feel. A fabulous product for a textile lover who will appreciate the texture of the handwoven yarns and the beautiful blend of tones and colours. Artisans: made in northern india, near jaipur by traditional artisan families who weave to supplement other seasonal sources of income such as farming. Working on handwoven textiles allows artisans to work from home or nearby, while preserving a valuable artisanal heritage. The designs are an evolution of traditional and contemporary style, with artisans researching weaving styles from around the world to incorporate into their work.
