Wool Blanket Shawls
A blanket scarf is what happens when a shawl stops compromising. At 150 x 270 cm, it does everything the smaller formats do, and one thing they cannot: it wraps two people.
These are built for shared use. Two people on a sofa, a couple on a cold park bench, a long train journey, a flight with the air conditioning set to January. Fold it in half for double warmth or spread it fully for coverage. Worn solo, wrap it across both arms and tuck the ends: a wearable blanket that still reads as clothing, not bedding.
The construction is the same as the rest of the range: lambswool, hand-thrown shuttle, a pit-loom in Swat, and a weaver's entire day in each piece. The blanket midweight falls softly enough to wear all day.
If you are choosing between formats, the honest rule: buy this one for sharing, travel and home; buy the 100 x 200 or 120 x 240 shawl if you will mostly wear it out. The blanket scarf guide covers the differences in detail.
Questions
What is the difference between a blanket scarf and a shawl?
Size and use. A shawl at 100 x 200 or 120 x 240 cm is a garment. A blanket scarf at 150 x 270 cm is big enough to wrap two people or serve as a wearable blanket for travel and home.
Can you wear a blanket scarf like a normal scarf?
Yes. Fold it in half lengthways and use the loop method, or drape it across the shoulders. The extra fabric gives more volume at the neck and more coverage across the back.
Is a blanket scarf good for travel?
It is the format we recommend for it. It works as a blanket on planes and trains, folds into a bag, and unlike an actual blanket you can wear it off the plane.
