Product description
The collection of hand-woven Blur blankets is the result of the work of artisans with mohair and alpaca fibers. The combing process allowed for smooth color transitions. The blankets are double woven on a harness loom and filled with merino wool granules during weaving. Differentiation of tactile sensations is ensured by the use of several types of yarn (mohair, alpaca, alpaca boucle).
Blankets from the Blur collection are able to wrap the body thoroughly and tightly, which is also influenced by its specific weight.
Technique
Woven on a harness loom, hand stuffed with merino wool pellets
Dominika and Julia began experimenting with traditional weaving during their studies. Their first joint project was Green Yarns Lab, the goal of which was to design highly tactile textiles from natural yarns, dyed using plants. In 2020, it was presented to the public during the make me! competition final at the Łódź Design Festival. Their refusal to contribute to waste has led them to embark upon RESTKI, a project to develop a material with which interior objects could be produced, made from leftover yarn. Currently REST collaborates with The Good Living Co.
