This Siirt blanket's design reflects running water, a symbol of purity and long life. It was hand-woven in Eastern Turkey. The characteristic diagonal chequered design is intriguingly visible "behind" the colour pattern. The horizontal stripes add an interesting contrast to every room without beeing too noisy.
MATERIALS
For the weft, finest mohair wool of the local Angora goat was mixed with sheep wool. We estimate a percentage of 25% mohair and 75% sheep wool. The warp is made of cotton.
COLOURS
Natural white, black, beige and brown. All colours are natural.
MEASUREMENTS
78 x 123 cm
CARE INSTRUCTION
This blanket was professionally cleaned. It is machine washable at 30° Celsius. Do not spin. Dry flat.
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.
