Blue plaid manta by Sebastian Herkner Materials: 100% natural virgin wool. Technique: hand-woven in Colombia. Dimensions: W 200 x H 120 cm Available in colors: blue/ black/ rose, black/ white/ ochre, grey/ rose/ blue, green/ blue/ naranja. The Manta blanket is a luxurious, hand-woven blanket made with the finest wool. Sebastian Herkner, who visited Colombia multiple times and met the local craftsmen and craftswomen working for Ames, designed the modernist check pattern. The blanket, which is available in four color combinations, is perfect for cuddling up on the sofa or as a plaid for the guest bed. Each blanket is woven by hand on a vertical loom in our Colombian workshops where the local artesanos and artesanas use techniques that have been passed down over generations. They only use threads made from natural virgin wool, which has been dyed with natural pigments. Just the preparation of the wool takes four days, while the weaving takes six days.
