Swans Island Blankets are hand-dyed and hand-woven by our small group of craftspeople in our studio in Northport, Maine. Each blanket is created to the highest standards: we use only the cleanest, softest fleece, hand-dye the yarn with all natural materials, and then weave the blanket by hand. We finish the edges with silk threads, and closely inspect the blanket for flaws before shipping them in custom designed linen storage bags, with slats of protective aromatic cedar. You will also receive one of our Swans Island blanket books with your order.
