Our favorite part? The section entitled “Textile School for Weavers”. This lesson closely resembles, if not exactly, our modern-day techniques for warping our fibers. You can even check out our warper in action in a two part video series that we created: Part 1 – What is the Creel? and Part 2 – The Warper.

Another favorite? The quiz at the end. Can you answer all of the questions after taking the lesson?

1. Clean your blanket, following [...]]]> It’s that time of year. Time to switch out your summer blankets for the winter ones. Blankets vary as far as care, but many need the same TLC when it comes to storage. Follow these few simple steps in order to keep your blankets in the best of shape next season.

1. Clean your blanket, following the care labels. If you have a linen or cotton Brahms Mount blanket, you can find the care instructions for cleaning here. Make sure your blanket is completely dry before storing.

2. Cedar lined chests or closets are ideal for blanket storage, as the cedar deters moths and other insects from bothering the fabrics.

3. Other storage options include plastic bins for under the bed or in a closet.

4. Sealed plastic bags that came with your blanket are another option for storage. Vacuum storage bags are another option if you lose or throw away your bags; or simply want to conserve a little more space.

5. Pull out your blanket at the beginning of next season and enjoy!

Not only that, but our Merino Lambswool is light, [...]]]> Merino wool is one of our favorite blankets – and it’s no surprise why – there are a ton of reasons wool makes a great all-season blanket, and these are just five.

1. Lightweight

Forget about multiple blankets, there’s no need for too many layers with our wool. Not only that, but our Merino Lambswool is light, making it the perfect fall accessory.

2. Breathable

Wool? Breathable? But of course. You can stay warm and cozy without the bulk of a traditional winter throw.

3. Warm

The perfect all season blanket, you’ll stay warm all year long with these beautiful blankets. Not only that, but our Merino wool has warmth and insulating properties.

4. Non-itchy

That’s right. We’re ending the itchy wool stigma right here and now. Wool has come a long way from that itchy Christmas sweater. Much research has been conducted to perfect the spinning and weaving processes, resulting in one of the finest and softest fibers available.

5. Machine washable

Don’t worry about special washing instructions; our merino wool blankets can be thrown right in the wash!
