Moroccan Wool Blanket

Cream wool, red stripes, and a fringe that has seen a few seasons.

Berber weavers of Morocco, North Africa, wove this wool blanket in the 20th century. Handwoven wool blankets of this kind are commonly used as bedding, wraps and room covers across the Atlas regions. Broad bands of deep red and fine dark dashes run across a creamy ground, set at changing intervals so the stripes seem to breathe. Twisted fringe trails from the short ends in places. The wool has a soft, aged look, a touch uneven in the best way.

About 111 by 58 inches. Large enough for a bed, a wall, or a long sofa that needs a calmer mood.
