Details

These blankets from Norlha are made from the softest Yak wool, and each is as unique as the next.  This one is made from a deep midnight yarn that is almost black, but with just a subtle tone of navy.  There is asymmetrical fringe around the perimeter of the blanket, with some areas a little shorter than others which creates for a really nice effect. These are an ideal throw for a couch, or perfect at the foot of a bed.  

About Norlha

"Norlha is the Tibetan Plateau’s first yak khullu atelier. We opened our doors in 2007 in Ritoma Village, a nomad settlement comprising 230 families, 6000 yaks and 20,000 sheep. We now employ 130 people, all former nomads or members of nomad families, who have spun, woven and felted for generations. Still, creating a modern, marketable product required thinking and innovation as the local tools, drop spindles and blackstrap looms, were not conducive to commercially viable production. We innovated by using outside technology, importing charkhas and flying shuttle looms from India and Nepal, both ideal for a village based industry. For felting, we combined modern technology and the traditional knowledge and techniques of the local women."
