The Companion - Eri Silk Patchwork Blanket #2

We call this patchwork blanket "The Companion" as we imagine how a newborn receives it, a child plays on it, a teenager curls up in it, and years later it hangs on the wall or lies across a bed. Throughout all those stages, it remains a companion. It is a unique creation of our dyers and weavers in Assam and our tailor Ashiq in Ladakh. Using fabric remnants from our garment production, blanket is beautifully crafted into a new texile, honoring the precious Eri silk. The blanket is stitched in our studio in Ladakh. front: 100% naturally dyed eri silk from Assam back and inside: 100% kala cotton from Gujarat 80cm x 110cm farming: 45 days spinning: 2 days dyeing: 1 day weaving: 2 days stitching: 2 days Please note: This product is entirely made by hand.
