The Blankestry: Functional Blanket Art

From the day we first launched our line of adventure blankets, we started hearing the question:

“It’s so beautiful, can I hang a blanket on my wall like a tapestry?”

Of course you can, wall blankets are awesome! You can hang any of our full-size handwoven blankets on your wall and use them as functional art.

But finding that much empty wall space isn’t always an option. So we created The Blankestry.

Measuring approximately 3ft x 3ft, the Blankestry series is the perfect mix of style and function – and the perfect size for decorating any wall space.

Every piece is intricately handwoven on traditional looms by the same artisans that make our beloved blankets. It IS a Trek Light adventure blanket, just smaller.

For Your Wall, For Your Life

Our Blankestries are designed for your wall – but, like most Trek Light products, the adventure is up to you.

We’ve already heard from customers who have used their Blankestry to decorate their campsite, to add an accent to a table, dresser, or chair, and even to add a blast of style to their pet’s favorite lie-down spot.

Of course, you can still use your Blankestry to get cozy like any other blanket – but it is small! Think of it as a lap blanket, a shoulder wrap, or a shawl.

If you’re looking to wrap yourself up and get cozy, you’ll definitely want to grab one of our full-size throw blankets.

 

A Uniquely Handmade Item

Expect variances!

These aren’t machine-made clones – these are completely individual, one-of-a-kind works of art.

As a handmade and handwoven blanket, there may be variances in the details, and the hue of the blanket colors may be slightly different than what’s pictured. Imperfections and variances are exactly what makes handwoven art special (just like you)!

Blankets that feature curved or circular designs will typically have a small amount of spacing around the curved transitions. The looser threads around the curves are a normal part of the traditional weaving process and they do not affect the integrity of your blanket. If you don’t like the way it looks, you can easily just push the threads closer together with your fingers and the gap will magically disappear!

Every blanket is beautiful in its uniqueness so you should feel comfortable that you’ll get a blanket you’ll be happy with – but if you have questions about this please feel free to contact us before you order!

IMPERFECTIONS (ARE BEAUTIFUL)

Due to their handwoven nature, our blankets may have some stray, loose, or pop-out threads, even when they’re brand new. These aspects of the weaving process are intentionally left intact – it’s what gives handwoven blankets their character and sets them apart from machined textiles. In other words, this is totally normal for a handwoven textile and isn’t considered a defect, it’s meant to be appreciated!

As noted above, if you notice what appears to be a “hole” anywhere in your woven blanket, don’t fret! In most cases, it simply means the threads are pulled apart, which gives the illusion of a hole in the material. You can just push the threads back towards the hole so they’re distributed evenly and watch it disappear!
