Our winter blankets are woven from the the wool of flocks of sheep that live untended on islands in Penobscot Bay. These local breeds provide many of the fleeces we use in our winter weave-two layers of wool for warmth, and all hand-dyed using only natural materials.

R A R E WO O L A N D E Q U I N OX B L A N K E T S Swans Island Rare Wool blankets are made from the wool of naturally occurring brown and black sheep. These sheep aren’t common, and after three or four years, their fleeces tend to go grey, so we are only able to weave a limited number of rare brown and black wool blankets each year. Equinox blankets balance a winter weave with summer-weight rare wool to keep out the winter cold.
