Classic tartan check blankets woven from 100% Icelandic lambswool by Álafoss, working Icelandic wool since 1896. The checked patterns and fringed edges give these throws a timeless look, while the colors take their cues from the Icelandic landscape.
Why does Icelandic lambswool make a good blanket?
Icelandic fleece carries two kinds of fiber — a water-resistant outer layer and a fine, insulating undercoat — so these blankets are durable, soft and warm without being heavy. Large enough for a bed or couch, they earn their keep on chilly evenings and still look right in summer.
A checked wool throw is also a dependable gift — weddings, housewarmings, anniversaries — because it gets used for decades. See all our throws in the Icelandic wool blankets collection. We're a small family-run shop in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, family-run since 2013 — just ask us if you'd like help choosing.
