Description
The ILO blanket features a minimalist design that suits a wide range of interiors. Its special appeal comes from the unique colouration, where the interplay of warp and weft threads combined with a raising finish creates a lively, textured surface. This classically beautiful wool blanket is soft and pleasant to the touch, even against bare skin.
Please note that the ILO blanket is 200 cm long, allowing you to wrap yourself completely while relaxing on the sofa. It even covers your toes!
The fringed ILO blanket is made from 100% wool and includes Finnsheep wool! The Finnsheep wool used in each blanket is collected by us from local farms within approximately 400 km of Lapua. We have invested over three million euros in a continuous finishing facility for wool textiles in Lapua, enabling us to bring back lost industrial expertise in wool processing to Finland. Today, our skilled weavers and finishers craft these beautiful wool textiles right in the heart of Ostrobothnia, Finland.
Finnsheep wool is not only versatile but also one of the softest wool varieties in the Nordic region. Products containing local Finnsheep wool are an ethical choice like no other: by choosing them, you support Finnish production, traditional craftsmanship, and nature itself.
Traceable natural materials
100 % wool – and pleasant warmth. Both the weft and the warp yarn are made from the wool fibres of Finnsheep and Finnsheep crossbreeds, which we have obtained from the local farms in Finland, as well as from certified Wool Integrity NZ fibre. The wool’s beautiful blue colour is obtained from locally grown woad – it is dyed with plant dyes in Lappajärvi, Finland. All yarns are spun in the EU area and are mulesing-free wool.
Preserving and developing the Finnish textile tradition has always been our passion, and we are particularly proud of this material.
Own transparent production
Preserving and developing Finnish textile tradition is important to us, which is why we started collecting local wool from Finnish sheep farms for industrial use. A key motivation for the project was that a large portion of the wool had previously gone to waste. We also rebuilt the production chain that had disappeared from Finland. Now we control the entire wool production process and engage in unique product development while passing on our expertise to future generations.
The product design, material purchases, loom programming and warping as well as the pre-work stages, weaving and fabric inspection are done in our own weaving mill in Lapua, Finland. If necessary, the sewing is done in our subsidiary’s own sewing department in Kaunas, Lithuania, or in our own sewing department in Lapua. The product finishing is done in our finishing plant in Lapua, Finland.
