otselo wool blankets

 Otselo blankets are true heirloom blankets similar to those which
were used by your grandmothers and grandfathers. They are not
merino wool, but stronger and more durable with much more texture and interest They are almost hand-loomed from pure
natural wool from Karakachan and other indigenous sheep high in the mountains
of Eastern Europe. They are processed only with pure mountain river water to
bring up the nap and pre-shrink them. After 14 hours of this water processing,
they are dried in the sun. 

Otselo blankets are made
from virgin wool. This means the yarn is made from wool which comes directly from
the sheep and not from some other products (recycled). The wool is a very long
and soft fiber, with a beautiful healthy sheen, not unlike clean healthy human
hair. Most of the colors are from the natural colors of the sheep. Some
blankets made these days are from recycled wool ( not virgin) which has been
cut, bleached, dyed, and chemically processed to give a uniform texture and
softness, however, all this processing hurts the natural qualities of the wool,
which becomes like something dead. Otselo blankets are 100% virgin wool.
They are completely free of chemicals.

Otselo blankets are machine washable in cool water.Otselo
blankets are warm and thoughtful gifts which will be cherished for generations.
