Maragata Wool Beige Rainbow Blanket

These beautiful blankets are handmade using traditional techniques from Pure Virgin Wool.

The textile industry in Val de San Lorenzo in León has a long tradition. In the middle of the 18th century there were 81 cloth manufacturers in the village. There are documents that show that since the 17th century, merchants came to buy cloth in Val. The main characteristic of these fabrics is the impressive degree of isolation that sheep wool has, (the only "hollow" fibre that exists), thanks to a traditional process of obtaining and combing it, they can get thousands of natural "air chambers" which can insulate the cold.
