YONDER.make Pom Pom Blankets
In tribute to our new Pom Pom Blankets coming in store this week, we thought we would give you a sneak peak at how these beautiful blankets are made! We work closely with local artisans to design and make each blanket, firstly choosing the colours. The wool and cotton is then dyed and hung out dry in the Moroccan sun.
The newly dyed wool or cotton is then spun out into smaller lengths of yarn on to bobbins. This yarn is then used to begin weaving the blankets on large traditional wooden looms, each one taking a few days to make.
The pom poms are separately handmade and then sewn onto the blankets in the last stage of the process. Not only do these blankets help support local artisans, but they give you a lovingly handmade item.
