$900.00

Hand woven with six types of 100% pure wool, this blanket is a gift of timeless comfort. Throw it over for a luxurious nap or wear it as a shawl. Our winter weight wool blanket is so next-to-skin soft you won’t want to leave it. With proper care, it will become your family’s coziest heirloom.

This is one of 31 wool blankets made in limited production this year at the Frost Atelier in Eliot, Maine. Woven into a simple and classic modern design, it features the Frost edge, Master Weaver Amala’s signature finish based on ancient Peruvian weaving techniques. The red band, called a Blessing Thread and found in all Frost blankets, symbolizes the gift of care, love, and compassion.

“This design is a study in proportion and rhythm. There’s tension between the bands of color, the field of natural wool, and the twill pattern reverses.” - Amala

Frost sources the finest quality wools from small-scale domestic ranches and mills where the animals are well cared for. This includes a Maine heritage mill, solar powered mills in Maine and Montana, and organically operated ranches in Oregon and New Mexico. All of our wool is processed without the use of chlorine.

Each blanket is produced by hand, and on a human scale.  We take every effort to produce our offering as sustainably as possible. All our materials are closely vetted for quality and care, and sourced from mission-driven operations. Frost blankets are hypoallergenic, and do not include any harmful chemicals, dyes, or additives. All colored yarns have been dyed with organic dyes and/or sustainable dyeing practices. Our home and atelier is powered by solar panels and a wood stove.

Throughout history, textiles have protected, warmed, covered, celebrated, and comforted our loved ones. Each Frost blanket is an embodiment of this human gift of love and compassion. Master Weaver, Amala, has practiced her craft for over 40 years. She invented the finishing technique found throughout each limited run. As every blanket is made by a human hand, slight variation should be expected. With a little care your Frost blanket will satisfy for decades. We still use blankets in our home that Amala made over 30 years ago!
