Handwoven blanket VII 89,00 �

Very nice blankets made from 100% handspun wool. They are hand-woven on a old wooden loom. How they are produced very rarely and are perfect replicas of the originals from the complete Middle Ages. The ceilings are never made of one piece, depending on size, they are hand sewn from two to three parts, since the Middle Ages it was very narrow looms. These blankets are exactly just such looms as produced in the Middle Ages.
The wool is from mountain sheep from the region and is washed in spring water only, thus they contain, even after the precious lanolin (fat) which the dirt floors and almost can be watertight. The wool is not dyed, unless the ceiling has colored streaks in organge, red, etc. Than the wool is natural dyed, for example with onion skins.

The blankets are manufactured by a family company in the Maramures mountains for us. In that operation really work with all generations and all done by hand. By sorting the wool to sew the blankets. We try this operation through the sale of the beautiful blankets to ensure the existence, since this family has made over generations to produce nothing more than blankets and other wool products by hand. In times of industrial production, the demand is decreasing much sadly.

Sheep Skin white 39,00 �

High quality tanned sheepskin in the color white. The color is natural, not dyed, and each coat is slightly different from creme-white to almost snow-white. The skins have very tight and long hair, so they are ideally suited as a bed or sit on. Wool is temperature equalizationed when it is hot, it cools and if it is cold it warms.

The skins have a very supple leather side and very soft long coat. Our sheepskins are not, like most offered, cut in sheep-form as it would lose significantly in size. Moreover each hair is absolutely unique.

By the natural tanning the skins do not lose the natural lanolin and are therefore very easy to maintain, since this is a natural protective layer for the wool. However, the skins smell a little like a sheep, but this is the guarantee that the lanolin exists in the wool and it´s not a chemical tanned skin.

Anyone who knows our skins, loves them!

Dimensions of sheepskins:

Length about 110 cm to 130 cm

Width about 70 cm to 80 cm

Hair length about 10 cm to 15 cm

The dimensions are always measured at the longest and widest part of the skin.
