This blanket was made by craftswoman Svitlana Pavlyuk from the Yavoriv village. Yavoriv is a unique center of hand-weaving blankets made of sheep’s wool, with the traditional name — Lizhnyk.

Lizhnyk comes from the Ukrainian word “Lizhko, lezhaty” (meaning — “bed, to lie down”). Traditional lizhnyk is a thick woolen blanket woven on a wooden loom. Usually, it has a long fluffy double-sided pile.

Such a plaid made of sheep’s wool is extremely warm. It can be used in the cold winter to keep warm and as a decorative element of the interior.

Approximate dimensions*:
160 cm (62.9in) x 210 cm (82.6 in)
the size of the tassels — 8-10 cm (3-4 in)

Traditional Lizhnyk has a geometric pattern with floral motifs, made in different colors. Previously, wool was colored with homemade natural dyes — decoctions from the bark of local trees and other plants.

Now there are a lot of natural ready-made dyes. This allows craftsmen to create wool blankets with various and unique patterns.

We may have woolen blankets of various patterns and sizes available. You can clarify the assortment when placing an order.

* The technology by which these blankets are made does not allow to make 100% the same size of the product. During the process of felting the blanket decreases in size. The master controls it, but it is difficult to guess the size centimeter by centimeter.

Therefore, the size of each product may differ by a couple of centimeters. You can see how the process of felting goes under the pressure of a mountain river in the video at the link below. However, you can always specify the size when ordering.
