Keep it long, treasure it long.

Lightweight lap blanket size

While waiting for someone in the car or reading a book on the sofa, there are times when I wish I had a throw blanket that isn't as large as a full blanket but is still cozy enough to keep me warm. The KLIPPAN "Wool Half Throw Goose Eye MIDI" is a half-size throw that is perfect for such occasions. It is thinner and lighter than a blanket, making it easy to leave it out without it being in the way.

The Nordic Weaving Tradition of "Goose Eye" in a Cozy Size

Goose Eye is one of the traditional weaving patterns that has been passed down in the Nordic region for centuries. The name means "goose's eye," and the geometric pattern resembles a series of bird eyes. By using a limited color palette and expressing its character through the woven pattern, it blends seamlessly into simple interiors.

The throw is woven to be airy and fluffy, containing plenty of air compared to a blanket. The half size is referred to as "Knee Throw" in Sweden and is commonly used as a lap blanket. Its thin and lightweight design allows it to be draped over the back of a dining chair for quick access when feeling chilly, or placed on the arm of a sofa, making it easy to use anywhere, including in the back seat of a car.

The fabric is made from recycled wool. KLIPPAN manages the entire process from spinning the raw wool to producing the final product in their own factory, which generates a lot of leftover yarn and fibers. This leftover material is collected and blended with new wool to create recycled wool. Since various product yarns are mixed together, subtle differences in color emerge, preventing a monotonous appearance.

One of the reasons for its popularity is its easy care; simply air it out in the shade after use and lightly shake off any dust. The Wool Half Throw Goose Eye MIDI is not only great for warmth but also allows for fun changes in decor for your sofa or dining area. Its compact size makes it an excellent choice for Christmas gifts or birthday presents.

KLIPPAN: Founded in 1879 as a Spinning Mill

KLIPPAN began in 1879 as a spinning mill in the small town of Klippan in southern Sweden. It gained attention in 1992 when it presented its blankets at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, and since then, it has collaborated with Swedish designers and embraced eco-wool and organic cotton, now being used in 35 countries worldwide.

By managing the entire process from spinning to final product in-house, KLIPPAN ensures that no leftover yarn goes to waste. The recycled wool used in the Goose Eye pattern is derived from this leftover material. The brand's commitment to utilizing every last fiber from the sheep is reflected in the colors of this throw.
