Pure merino wool blankets come in three designs, Heart blanket (six heart colours available), hand-knitted by women in rural South Africa. These heart blankets are hand-knitted in a traditional & simple pattern. The selection of perfectly curated neutral colours will complement your personal dcor. The distinguishing feature of the wool is it's origin - the vast Karoo region which is home to wide open spaces where sheep are free to roam, graze & provide the softest wool from which our blankets are knitted. Blankets from Africa began as a project through which previously unemployed women are provided with a simple knitting pattern, the soft,pure new wool & needles with which to produce our beautiful warm blankets. Our knitting ladies are able to generate an income to sustain their families as well as building their own self-esteem & creating a community spirit, previously lacking in many of the rural areas of South Africa.
