This beautiful textile is an antique hand-woven hemp and wool blanket that has some damage from time and use ( please see photographs and condition details below) ~*~ *~ This stunning blanket was woven by hand in the Carpathian Mountain Region of Europe about 100-120 years ago.~ These blankets are rare and wonderful, with a beautiful natural texture and look! ~*~ This blanket uses a complex weave and is woven using both linen (heavy hemp) and natural wool from goats. The colors are a pale natural hemp off-white, deep dark brown and red stripes. The woven stripes appear on both sides. ~*~ This blanket was constructed by first hand weaving the 2 lengths, which were then hand stitched together in a very primitive hand stitched seam down the middle. The ends are hand stitched with a hem. This lovely heavy textile weighs over 4.5 pounds and has a wonderful natural, heavy texture! gorgeous quality. ~*~ It would make a STUNNING throw or small bed cover or could also be used as upholstery, pillow or heavy curtain fabric. ~~ A perfect gift for any textile lover and a wonderful textile for any collection! ~ ( E R58


MEASUREMENTS : This wonderful textile measures about 55inches wide by 77 inches long. ~*~ *~ ~


CONDITION : I've freshly laundered this lovely blanket and it's ready to use! This blanket has some voids in the wool, some damage to the wool in places. The hemp warp thread is great, but the wool is void in some places ~ !! !! This blanket shows these especially when held to the light, so please only purchase this blanket for decorative use ~*~ ~ They are enough for me to say it's in poor condition, however you'll be pleasantly surprised :))) Damaged condition reflected in the price ~*~ )
