Woven from 100% super-soft, responsibly sourced merino wool, these toasty blankets are the perfect companions for chilly evenings, whether you’re enjoying starry night skies or practising a little fireside hygge. Merino wool is naturally antibacterial, so these luxury blankets won’t need frequent washing either – simply air them overnight from time to time.
They’re crafted in western Sweden by Öjbro Vantfabrik, a small, independent manufacturer dedicated to preserving the heritage designs and patterns of Swedish woollen garments through beautiful pieces of ‘wearable art’. Many of the unique knitting patterns are associated with traditional provinces.
This includes Dalarna, a county in the Swedish heartland of Svealand. It’s a landscape of verdant valleys, pristine lakes, green forests and fruit orchards – which is perhaps why it is known as Sweden’s cider country (and the spiritual home of Kopparberg). But Dalarna is also associated with the Dala horse – the little carved and painted wooden horses that have become icons not just of the region but also of Sweden itself. The Dalarna knit proudly depicts this equine symbol alongside other folk patterns, using wool dyed in traditional colours.
There are two reasons you’ll fall in love with Öjbro Vantfabrik’s gloves and socks. Firstly, this homely Swedish brand fuse their heritage into each design, incorporating traditional Sami patterns and cultural tales into their woolen garments. It’s a carefully considered design process that affords their garments a story as rich as the material they’re built from. Which leads into the second reason: they’re hella comfy.
Each pair of gloves, socks and blanket that Öjbro Vantfabrik produce is crafted from premium wool sourced from ethical farmers and manufactured in eco-friendly factories. The resulting apparel is ludicrously soft and comfortable, not to mention built to endure years of wear, designed to keep you warm no matter the conditions outside.
