TBCo Wolldecke Orange Gingham

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 dense enough to 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. Additionally, The Tartan Blanket Co. prefers sea freight over air transport from India, which, while more expensive and time-consuming, has a lower environmental impact. Furthermore, the brand invests 2 percent of all revenue into carbon offsetting and social projects.

Care instructions: Take to a textile cleaner or wash on a wool cycle at no more than 30 degrees in the machine. 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; lay flat to dry.

Product dimensions: 145 x 190 cm including fringes.
