Nara wool blankets have a lighter weight and are particularly suitable for indoor use, as a pleasant companion for a divan or for covering up while reading a book over tea in the evening. However, if you take Nara on the veranda or even spread it out in the grass during a spring picnic, you won't go wrong.
The blanket blends well and is lightweight, one of the lightest in our range. At the same time, it is not bulky, so it is very portable. This makes it an ideal travel companion.
The Nara blanket is designed for lovers of traditional craftsmanship. It is a textile that is 100% handmade from the preparation of the yarns to the weaving. Therefore, even a closer look at its structure reveals small irregularities in the weave that make each piece unique. The blanket is double-sided - on the reverse side there is a colour reversal pattern.
The beautiful colour palette of the muted natural tones of the Nara blanket is due to the fact that the dyes used to colour the yarns are made from natural substances - decoctions of herbs, etc., such as indigo dye.
The name of this blanket is derived from the word nar, which is of Persian origin and means pomegranate. In the Balkans and in Asia Minor, where the blanket is made in Istanbul, it is used in the same sense, and to us the blanket, with its fragile yet firm constitution and the slight irregularities in the pattern, resembles the natural irregularity and dim brightness of a pomegranate. At the same time, the root 'nar' indicates that it is a blanket suitable for the milder winters around the Bosphorus, Aegean or Black Sea, where pomegranates thrive. In Central Europe, Nara will help you create a pleasant atmosphere with a hint of the Orient.
