Description

Each Hustle & Blush blanket is handwoven from the wool of free-roaming Carpathian sheep, washed, spun, and crafted on traditional looms for authenticity, strength, and comfort. With its warm cinnamon tones and timeless diamond motifs, the Druh celebrates friendship, connection, and the quiet beauty of heritage craft.

  • Patterned Design: A vertical row of ivory diamonds stretches across a cinnamon field, symbolizing unity and trust. A broad cream border frames the composition, bringing contrast and grounding balance. The simple geometry and warm palette make the Druh equally at home in rustic cabins or modern interiors, embodying warmth in both color and meaning.
  • Sustainable & Safe: Made from 100% organic, cruelty-free wool sourced from free-roaming Carpathian sheep and prepared without bleach, synthetics, or harsh chemicals. Naturally hypoallergenic, breathable, and dyed with plant-based, azo-free colors, it provides lasting comfort while honoring responsible production.
  • Handcrafted Heritage: Each blanket is handwoven by female artisans in rural Ukrainian villages, where weaving traditions have been passed down for generations. Subtle differences in tone, weave, or the presence of tiny flecks of field grass reflect the blanket’s natural origin and the human touch in every fiber.

Details

Every blanket tells the story of its origin and the people who made it. The Druh blanket is woven from virgin wool in the Carpathians and designed to embody friendship and connection. Its diamond motifs and balanced contrasts reflect cultural heritage, while the cinnamon-and-cream palette highlights the honest character of the wool itself.

  • Patterned Design: A stepped column of ivory diamonds symbolizes bonds of trust and unity, creating balance across the cinnamon ground. A broad cream border anchors the design with contrast and grounding presence. The simple geometry makes this wool blanket adaptable for both rustic and contemporary interiors.
  • Sustainable Material: Made with cruelty-free virgin wool from free-roaming Carpathian sheep. Mulesing is never practiced, and azo-free, plant-based dyes are used where color is added. Fibers are prepared without bleach or synthetics, ensuring strength, safety, and sustainable practices.
  • Handmade Craft: Each blanket is woven by hand in villages across western Ukraine. From shearing to spinning to weaving, every step is carried out slowly and with intention. Variations in weave or flecks of pasture grass are reminders of its authentic, handcrafted origin.
  • Breathable Warmth: Wool regulates body temperature naturally, keeping warmth in on cold nights while allowing airflow to prevent heaviness. With its substantial weave, the Druh blanket is especially suited for queen-sized bedding, offering steady comfort in cooler seasons.
  • Queen Size Blanket: At 76 x 86 inches, the Druh provides full coverage for a standard queen bed. It serves as a primary bed cover or layers easily with a duvet cover, Waffle Blanket, or down alternative.
  • Ethical Production: Each purchase supports women artisans in rural Ukraine with fair trade wages and the flexibility to work from home, sustaining their families while preserving cultural heritage.

How to Use

Sized for a queen bed, the Druh blanket can be spread fully for nightly comfort, or layered with quilted blankets, cotton coverlets, for colder nights. Its substantial weave makes it ideal for nightly use, offering steady warmth without excess bulk. Fold it at the foot of the bed when not in use, or spread it fully for complete coverage. In cooler months, it layers easily with a duvet, and in very cold climates it can even serve on its own. Solo sleepers will enjoy its generous size, while couples will appreciate its warmth and fit. Beyond the bedroom, it also travels well, perfect for camping trips and road journeys, where its warmth and easy shake-out nature make it a dependable companion. For added texture, pair it with pillows and throws, a waffle blanket, or even a fuzzy fleece accent in the living room for a personalized experience.
