This Siirt blanket's design reflects the steps of paradise. Hand-woven in Eastern Turkey, it is about 25 years old. It shows some signs of usage. There are a few orange stains that are barely visible from a certain distance (see the last two photos). The typical diagonal chequered design is at the blanket's centre and the soft colour tones bring warmth to any room.

For the weft, finest mohair wool of the local Angora goat was mixed with sheep wool. We estimate a percentage of 50% mohair and 50% sheep wool. The warp is made of cotton.

THE STORY BEHIND
All our Siirt blankets were hand-crafted by Kurdish men in Eastern Turkey, where weaving with goat wool has a history dating back to 6500 BC. Today, only a few places still manufacture Siirt blankets. Most of our stock comes from private households and has already served local families. Every blanket tells its own story, adding and incomparable touch of history and cosmopolitan flair to our home.
