Experience the warmth and craftsmanship of this Lizhnyk, a truly unique wool blanket handmade in the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine. Crafted from 100% natural sheep wool, this piece is more than just a blanket - it's a testament to centuries-old artisanal techniques. Each Lizhnyk is handwoven on a traditional wooden loom, making every blanket one-of-a-kind with its own distinct texture and character. This versatile item can be used a bedspread, a cozy throw, a decorative wall piece, or even as a thoughtful, handcrafted gift. Product Details: Material: Carpathian sheep wool Weight: 7-15 Ib (3-7 kg) depending on size Crafting Process: Creating a Lizhnyk is a labor-intensive process rooted in tradition. The wool is sourced from sheep that graze in the high-altitude pastures of the Carpathians and is dyed naturally. The wool is carefully washed, dried, and combed until it resembles soft, fluffy clouds. These fibers are spun into threads, which are then woven on handmade looms, passed down through generations in mountain villages. The final step is a unique felting process, where the woven blanket is placed in a 'valylo' - a large wooden barrel designed to agitate the fibers using strong currents of water. This process tightens the blanket's fibers, resulting in a dense yet fluffy texture that is both durable and soft to the touch
