Barnardsville Blanket (Small)
Description
In 2021, with grant support from The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina, Local Cloth began gathering fiber across the Blue Ridge Mountains with a vision in mind: to make local blankets.
The Blue Ridge Blankets Project is intended to unite farmers and weavers and create the foundation for a new fiber economy in the region. Last fall, after three years of work, the first production run of these blankets went on sale. Made with fiber sourced from local farms within a hundred miles of Asheville, the patterns are named for the communities where the animals that contributed their fleece were raised.
The Barnardsville Blanket features a trio of hand-selected fibers in what is called the Blue Ridge Blend: 75% Fine Wool, 15% Mohair, and 10% Alpaca. This blanket features a classic twill design. The blanket’s natural, undyed fiber yields a warm, off-white hue. The soft, understated design makes the Barnardsville blanket an elegant and distinctive addition to your home. Each blanket is handwoven by a local weaver in Western North Carolina.
