~*~Hello and Welcome to the Textile Trunk~*~

This beautiful textile is an antique hand-woven hemp and wool blanket. ( I have two almost matching blankets, please see my other listing for its mate! ) 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: pale natural hemp & deep dark chocolate brown wool ~ the tone of the hemp has a slightly pinkish hue! ~ ~*~ It was constructed by hand weaving the 2 lengths, which were then hand stitched together in a very primitive hand stitch. The ends are hand stitched with a hem. This lovely heavy textile weighs over 5 pounds and has a wonderful floppy texture! ~*~ Extraordinary!! ~*~ Beautiful and heavy weight ~*~ gorgeous quality . ~*~ It would make a STUNNING throw or bed cover or could also be used as upholstery fabric, heavy curtain. ~~ A perfect gift for any textile lover and a wonderful textile for any collection! ~ ( E GF1)
