TBCo Stewart

The Tartan Blanket Co. gives a modern twist to a Scottish classic. The Stewart Natural Dress tartan pattern in neutral tones is particularly stylish. The blankets are made from recycled wool clothing (70%) and recycled blended fibers (30%) that would otherwise end up in a landfill. They are woven in a family-run workshop with which the brand has a close partnership that benefits both people and the planet. Recycling significantly reduces the amount of dye needed, as the items are sorted by color. The combination of recycled wool with recycled blended fibers, which also include synthetic materials, gives the resulting yarn more length and strength. While wool typically shrinks or pills when washed, the wool blankets from The Tartan Blanket Co. are more durable and so dense that they can be machine washed without losing softness. Not only are resources reused, but production at the source also aids in traceability and reduces the carbon footprint of the blankets. Dry clean or wash on a wool cycle in the machine at no more than 30 degrees. Add wool detergent and, if necessary, fabric softener to the detergent drawer and not directly into the drum. For stains, let the wool detergent sit on the spot for 10 minutes before washing. Do not tumble dry or hang to dry; lay flat to dry.
