Icelandic wool blankets are what we reach for at home: woven from the wool of Icelandic sheep, they're unusually light for how warm they are, naturally breathable, and they last for decades. This collection gathers the blankets we trust from Iceland's makers — Álafoss, Alrún, Kidka, Varma and LÍN Design.
How do you choose an Icelandic blanket?
Start with how you'll use it. For the sofa and cool evenings, a classic throw in the sheep's natural greys and creams goes with everything — see the solid colours. If you want the blanket to be the statement, the patterned jacquards weave in horses, birds and traditional motifs. For the smallest Icelanders-at-heart there are baby blankets, and Kidka's horse and puffin designs make a gift that says Iceland without a word.
Wool blankets shrug off spills and odours better than cotton — air them out, spot-clean, and they'll outlive the sofa. Woven in Iceland, sold by a family that uses them daily.
