Glossy Gotland Wool

Wool throws are often thought to be warm but have a rough texture. However, the GOTLAND series from KLIPPAN features wool from sheep raised on Gotland Island, known for its luster and smooth touch. This series is among the most popular in Sweden, and the "GOTLAND CHECK" adds a check pattern with multiple colors to the mix.

A Throw Made from the Rare Wool of Gotland Sheep

Gotland Island is the largest island in Sweden. The Gotland sheep, raised on this island since the Viking era, is a rare breed, making up only about 0.01% of the approximately one billion sheep worldwide. The GOTLAND series incorporates 25% of this sheep's wool. The wool from Gotland sheep is tightly curled, allowing it to trap a lot of air when woven, providing a moderate thickness and warmth. It feels pleasantly soft against the skin and becomes even softer with use, molding to your body over time.

The pattern combines several colors, creating an abstract painting effect when viewed from a distance, showcasing KLIPPAN's unique color matching, thanks to their in-house color lab.

Measuring 130×200 cm, this throw can be layered over a duvet on your bed, where the air layer it contains blocks cold air and helps maintain the temperature inside the bedding. On a sofa, simply draping it over the back and seat adds a splash of color, serving as an accent for your room. Its size also makes it convenient for use anywhere in the house, whether worn over the shoulders or used as a lap blanket.

Weaving History: The Long-Established Manufacturer KLIPPAN

Founded in 1879 in the town of Klippan in southern Sweden, KLIPPAN is a textile manufacturer that has passed down its techniques through five generations. They produce everything from spinning to weaving, dyeing, and final manufacturing in their own factories. Since its inception, KLIPPAN has used 100% natural fibers for their blankets.

The wool used is sourced only from farms that can be traced back to the shepherds. They do not use insecticides on the sheep or perform mulesing without anesthesia, nor do they feed the sheep with antibiotics. The sheep are raised on expansive pastures. The factory meets international certifications for quality (ISO 9001) and environmental standards (ISO 14001), and continues to engage in efforts to reduce waste.
