Earlier this year, we were featured by the Maine Office of Tourism as Maine designers. In it, Claudia Brahms – a founder and lead designer – and David Kaufman – owner – share their love of living and working in Maine. Claudia shares some of her inspiration, including Maine’s wildlife, nature, and vegetation; as well as a bit of her story and how she came to love design. View the full video below: Recently, we happened upon this fantastic article in the American Wool and Cotton Reporter, from the issue on May 14, 1903. You can view the original copy below: 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?
Fall is officially upon us, and winter isn’t far behind. But while all of the kiddos are out trick or treating, we thought we’d treat you to a fun selection for the season: our orange blankets! Light and bright, our cotton throws and linen/cotton day blankets are still perfect for cool days and chilly nights. So cuddle up in one of these bright holiday blankets and start passing out the candy!

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!
 Flint Broadcloth Merino Wool Blanket 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. LightweightForget 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. BreathableWool? Breathable? But of course. You can stay warm and cozy without the bulk of a traditional winter throw. 3. WarmThe 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-itchyThat’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 washableDon’t worry about special washing instructions; our merino wool blankets can be thrown right in the wash! Wool Blankets available at Brahms Mount include: Herringbone merino wool, available in Flint, Shale, Hazelnut, Nutmeg and Spruce Broadcloth merino wool, available in Nutmeg and Flint
We’ve talked about the many uses for day blankets before, but the truth is day blankets are perfect for fall. They make great stadium throws for the next football or soccer game. Day blankets are also perfect for an early fall picnic, just in time to watch the leaves change color. With plenty of colors and designs to choose from, you really can’t go wrong with one of these blankets! Merino Lambswool Blankets are great for any season, and fall is no exception! Light and breathable, yet warm and non-itchy, these blankets make the perfect accessory for a cool Autumn evening. Choose from our two designs: Herringbone Merino Wool and Broadcloth Merino Wool, both available in several color options. |
