Karin Carlander, 2022 Green Heddles Throw Wool Blanket For Karakter

About the Item

Karin Carlander, 2022 Green Heddles Throw For Karakter Weaver and textile artist Karin Carlander interprets classic techniques as the backbone of her creative process. When it came to the Heddles throw, Carlander selected alpaca wool from the Andes mountains. These thin, glossy fibers were woven into a luxurious blanket that features a subtle ridged design. Along the throw’s edge, a delicate fringe invites a closer look at the construction process, which sees the loom’s warp and weft working together. “This analogue way of creating is a collaboration between my loom and the material,” says Carlander. “The way threads and colours perform is new and unexpected with each material. Even after so many years, the craft continues to surprise me.” "I chose alpaca because it is a luscious material. I am a material nerd at heart. I need to know how things are made and where they come from, something I have taken to the extreme in my practice." “The way threads and colours perform is new and unexpected with each material. Even after so many years, the craft continues to surprise me.” Made from baby alpaca sourced from a traditional producer in the Andes, the throw is a result of local expertise and material knowledge. Alpaca is a hollow fibre and like linen keeps you warm when it is cold, and vice versa, the direct result of the high altitudes where the animal grazes. “I chose alpaca because it is a luscious material. I am a material nerd at heart. I need to know how things are made and where they come from, something I have taken to the extreme in my practice,” she says. The thin, glossy alpaca fibres make a light textile with a sensuous lustre, the result of its soft, fluttering pattern. “So many people compromise on material quality in our industry. That level of sublimity can be hard to get across, but it is what I strive for.” Product Material 100% Baby Alpaca Measurements Width 130 cm Length 200 cm Important information regarding images of products: Please note that some of the images show other colors and variations of the model, these images are only to present interior design proposals.
