Wrap yourself in the warmth of pure merino wool. This luxuriously soft throw blanket is handwoven by Elena in her Wicklow studio using 100% traceable merino sourced from small Irish farms. The result is a piece that gets softer with every wash and more beautiful over time.
The open-weave structure creates an airy yet insulating fabric that's perfect year-round — a summer layer in the evening breeze or a winter cocoon on the sofa. Each blanket takes approximately 12 hours to complete, making every piece unique.

Absolutely stunning, worth every cent
I was hesitant about the price but this blanket is genuinely exceptional. It arrived beautifully packaged with a handwritten note from Elena. The wool is impossibly soft — I've washed it twice now and it's only gotten better. My cat has also claimed it as his own.

Perfect gift, fast delivery
Bought as a wedding gift. The recipients were absolutely delighted. The quality is unmistakable and the fact that it's made locally adds so much to the story behind it. Came in 3 days, beautifully wrapped.
