It is woven as a jacquard, so the pattern goes right through the cloth. Turn it over and the colours swap: cream with red snowflakes. Red side out for December, cream side out when you want something calmer. The edges are stitched rather than fringed.

- Hand Wash Recommended: Gently wash in a basin or tub, avoiding the use of a washing machine to prevent damage to the wool fibers.
- Avoid Wringing or Twisting: Post-wash, don't wring or twist the blanket to remove water as it can deform its shape.

Icelandic wool, designed in Iceland
The blanket Icelanders reach for
Light on the lap and properly warm, because Icelandic wool has two layers: long outer fibres that shrug off damp, soft inner fibres that hold the heat. Air it out rather than wash it, and it lasts for years.
Why you'll love it
- Fleece made for Icelandic wintersIcelandic sheep grow a two-layer fleece: long outer fibres that shrug off damp and soft inner fibres that trap heat. That is the wool in this blanket.
- A snowflake by Védís JónsdóttirPattern no. 0303, which Ístex calls Jólarós — the Christmas rose. Védís also designed our Ægissíða landscape blanket.
- Woven in, not printed onIt is a jacquard: the snowflakes are made by the red and cream yarns themselves as the cloth is woven, so the pattern is part of the blanket, not a print on top.
- A gift that needs no explainingRed, snowflakes and Icelandic wool say Christmas and Iceland at a glance — and it is useful the day it is unwrapped.
