Otselo Wool Blankets  

 Otselo blankets are true heirloom blankets similar to those whichwere used by your grandmothers and grandfathers. They are notmerino wool, but stronger and more durable with much more texture and interest They are almost hand-loomed from purenatural wool from Karakachan and other indigenous sheep high in the mountainsof Eastern Europe. They are processed only with pure mountain river water tobring up the nap and pre-shrink them. After 14 hours of this water processing,they are dried in the sun. 

Otselo blankets are madefrom virgin wool. This means the yarn is made from wool which comes directly fromthe sheep and not from some other products (recycled). The wool is a very longand soft fiber, with a beautiful healthy sheen, not unlike clean healthy humanhair. Most of the colors are from the natural colors of the sheep. Someblankets made these days are from recycled wool ( not virgin) which has beencut, bleached, dyed, and chemically processed to give a uniform texture andsoftness, however, all this processing hurts the natural qualities of the wool,which becomes like something dead. Otselo blankets are 100% virgin wool.They are completely free of chemicals.

Otselo blankets are machine washable in cool water.Otseloblankets are warm and thoughtful gifts which will be cherished for generations.
