SİİRT BLANKET

Turkish Handmade Siirt Wool blankets are ideal for those who love natural textiles.

For centuries, the semi-nomadic Yoruk tribes of Central Asia have woven Siirt blankets entirely by hand, using basic looms and mohair wool obtained from herds of Angora goats. Interesting geometric patterns in the pile of a Siirt blanket emerge as a result of the weaver vigorously brushing the finished product by hand. Unlike most wools, mohair has a perfectly smooth body to which the soil does not stick easily. For this reason, mohair Siirt blankets stay clean longer than other wool fabrics, and simply shaking them will usually dislodge most of the dust and dandruff. Siirt Blanket is available in various sizes and natural wool colors and is ideal for use as a lap blanket, shawl, bedspread or spread rug. Durable and versatile; Dry clean or delicate wash is prefered..
