Icelandic horses mid-stride, row after row, knitted into the wool rather than printed on it
Two blankets in one: charcoal with white horses on the face, soft grey with dark horses on the back
Washed, brushed and steamed at the factory, so the surface is soft and a little fluffy from the first evening
About 140 × 200 cm (55 × 79 in): the whole of a single bed, or two people side by side on a sofa

Care

Gentle Cleaning: Use lukewarm water with mild soap or specialized wool cleaner. Avoid regular detergents or bleach.
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.
Air Dry Properly: Lay the blanket flat on a clean surface to air dry, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Storage Tips: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable cotton bag for protection against dust and moths. Avoid plastic containers or bags.

Icelandic Wool Blanket - Black with horses

$345.00

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

Made in a factory you can visitKidka knits and sews in its own factory in Hvammstangi, five minutes off Road 1 in North Iceland, with a shop at the front where visitors watch the machines through the window.
Wool that never leaves IcelandThe yarn is Icelandic sheep's wool, spun and dyed in Iceland, and Kidka says its wool products stay in the country through the whole production process.
The horse Iceland is known forSmall, sure-footed and famous for the tölt, the Icelandic horse has been bred on the island since the settlement. Kidka's Fákur pattern shows it the way you see it in a field: moving.
A souvenir that gets usedOne reviewer calls it an authentic reminder of a summer trip to Iceland; another came back and bought a second. Also knitted in beige and in blue if black is too dark for the room.

Questions people ask before they buy

Is it black or grey?

Both, depending on which side is up. The face is a deep charcoal black with the horses in white; turn it over and the ground is a soft light grey with the horses in black. The close-up photo shows the two sides meeting at the edge.

Is the pattern the same on both sides?

Yes. The Fákur blanket is knitted so that the horses come through on the back as a negative of the front. There is no plain side and no stripes, which is what makes it different from Kidka's puffin blankets.

How big is it, really?

Kidka gives the size as 140 × 200 cm, about 55 × 79 inches. In our photo it covers a single bed from the pillows to the foot and hangs over the sides. On a double bed it works as a throw across the lower half.

What does the wool feel like?

Lofty and a little hairy on the surface, because Kidka brushes every blanket after knitting. Under that it is Icelandic wool: light for its size, warm the moment it is over you, and nicer every winter. Most people keep it over the duvet or on the sofa.

Can I put it in the washing machine?

Kidka says yes: a wool programme at no more than 30 °C with a wool detergent, then dried flat and never tumble-dried. Most of the time an airing outdoors is all it needs.
