Item Description
Green wool quilted throw handmade from upcycled materials. Measures approx. 35"x42"
CRISPINA is a brand developed and executed by Crispina ffrench, an enviromental and social activist and textile artist based in the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts, USA.
Stay warm, and know that by supporting recycling and recyclers you are helping to change the world for the better.
Crispina says: “I make blankets from recycled wool and cashmere sweaters. I machine wash and dry cashmere, wool, and natural fiber wool blend sweaters to arrive at a soft, scrumptiously full texture. Shapes are carefully machine cut and sewn edge to edge in an inlaying process. This construction technique provides a single plane that makes the blanket a single layer thick with two useable sides. (I do put all the raw material seams on one side deeming that the ‘back’.) It is sprinkled with cables and button plackets. Fun sweater details are prolific. This throw is 5ft square and edged with gloriously soft and shimmery silk satin.”
Throws are nice on the back of the couch, or over your most comfortable chair. They are nice for bed toppers too. They add a layer of warmth and splash of color without the weight (or price tag) of a full bed-sized coverlet.
Item Special Note
- Blanket is dry cleanable or machine washable on delicate cycle – lay flat to dry.
