What Makes It Uncommon

keyboard_arrow_up

Lovingly woven in a region of Ireland that’s been making textiles for more than 800 years, this blanket’s old-world craftsmanship gives the newcomer an heirloom-worthy welcome.

  • Crafted by weavers whose family has been making woolens in County Kilkenny, Ireland, for six generations.
  • Made from 100% lambswool that has been sustainably sourced from local farms and gathered at the lambs' first shearing for its renowned softness.
  • The yarn is hank-dyed (a signature process that protects the fibers) and woven into a rainbow of gentle, gender-neutral pastels.
  • Naturally breathable and hypoallergenic wool keeps the little one warm in winter and cool in summer.
  • Packaged for gifting with a handmade “Bundle of Joy” card.
  • Made in Ireland by Miriam Cushen.

Due to the handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

Ireland

For Miriam Cushen, wool is the family business and an ancient tradition. There have been Cushens weaving woolens in their corner of southeast Ireland since 1778, and their mill is on a site where yarns and textiles have been made for more than 800 years. Miriam learned the craft from her father and is involved in all parts of it, from meeting with sheep farmers to weaving and finishing. “Our textiles are lifelong pieces,” she says, “connected to centuries of knowledge through passion and warmth.”
