The Companion - Eri Silk Patchwork Blanket #3

We call this patchwork blanket "The Companion" as we imagine how a newborn receives it, a child plays on it, a teenager curls up in it, and years later it hangs on the wall or lies across a bed. Throughout all those stages, it remains a companion. It is a unique creation of our dyers and weavers in Assam and our tailor Ashiq in Ladakh. Using fabric remnants from our garment production, blanket is beautifully crafted into a new texile, honoring the precious Eri silk. The blanket is stitched in our studio in Ladakh.

Please note: This product is entirely made by hand. Therefore, irregularities in thickness of yarn are characteristic to the craft of handspinning. Each piece is unique and can vary slightly from the product picture. The fabric and the dye will change over time - the silk is becoming softer and the dyes lighter.  Please cold wash only with mild detergent and dry in the shade. Do not soak.
