Swans Island Blankets
By 2003, John & Carolyn Grace had received so much effusive press coverage, their small studio on Maine's Swans Island could no longer keep up with the growing demand for the handmade wool blankets Martha Stewart calls "must-haves." Now located in an 18th century post and beam farmhouse on the mainland in Northport, Maine, their studio continues to produce the same blankets that won them a prestigious Smithsonian Blue Ribbon for Craft. The wool, which comes from Maine-raised sheep, is dyed using only naturally-derived colors (blue comes from the fermented leaves of the indigo plant, yellow comes from shavings of the Osage Orange tree). The blankets are woven using traditional shuttle looms and the edges are hand-finished using silk thread. Each blanket comes with a linen storage bag and slats of protective aromatic cedar.
