A wool blanket from Botswana.<div>In excellent condition. No stains, marks, odours. Knotted fringe.</div><div>Measures 90" x 57" (excluding fringe). Truly an exceptional piece. From 'Lentswe La Oodi Weavers'.&nbsp;Established in 1973, the Oodi Project, initially known as 'Lentswe la Oodi Weavers', was founded by Swedish expatriates Ulla and Peder Gowenius. They imparted invaluable knowledge to the local community, teaching them the art of spinning, dyeing, and weaving.&nbsp;The projects original objective was to instill confidence within the local community, empowering them to manage their own livelihoods. At its peak, the cooperative garnered immense respect, both locally and internationally, thanks to their handwoven wall hangings, cushion covers, and bedspreads, all of which depicted the vivid tapestry of village life.Now, four decades later, the women who initiated this project in 1973 find themselves reflecting on the past. They have aged gracefully and aspire to retire, yet they lament the disinterest of todays youth in learning the art of weaving, citing the demanding patience it requires.</div><div>In other words, weaving is a dying art so grab a piece of history! This blanket easily covers a single bed or looks fine draped across the foot of a larger bed for those chillier nights.&nbsp;</div> Condition: Excellent Measurements: 90&#34; x 57&#34; / 229 x 145 cm.
