Handmade Item

A Uniquely Handmade Item

These aren't machine-made clones - every Trek Light Blanket is woven by hand on a traditional handloom. The artistry of the weaver is in every piece, and that truly means that every blanket made and sold is a unique, one-of-a-kind work of art.

That means you should expect variances!

As a handmade and handwoven blanket, there may be variances in the blanket design details and, since we source our yarn from 100% recycled materials, the blanket colors may even vary slightly from what's pictured.

Imperfections and variances are exactly what makes handwoven art special (just like you)!

Imperfections (Are Beautiful)

Due to their handwoven nature, our blankets may have some stray, loose, or pop-out threads, even when they're brand new. They're not a sign that your blanket is going to fall apart - and they're all carefully inspected and tied off where necessary to make sure your blanket is made to last.

These little artifacts are meant to be appreciated and are intentionally left intact by the weavers. It's what gives handwoven blankets their character and sets them apart from machined textiles!

How It's Made

Made With 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Materials

It all begins with clothing.

Every blanket is made from excess clothing materials that otherwise would end up in the landfill - first, they're shredded into a pulp and then they're upcycled into yarn.

By repurposing high-quality materials and preventing them from ending up in the landfill, we're able to minimize our environmental impact and create less waste for our planet.

Handwoven By Mexican Artisans

Every blanket is handwoven in Mexico on a traditional wooden pedal loom by Indigenous artisans continuing a long tradition of craftsmanship and creativity.

The best things aren't made in factories. And that's why many of our artisans also continue the tradition of home weaving - allowing them to determine their own hours, wages, and workload.

Blanket Care

Cleaning

For the absolute best results, we recommend dry cleaning the blankets as it will always be the safest and most gentle process for them.

But, we're also big fans of this Mitch Hedberg line:

"This shirt is dry clean only. Which means... it's dirty."

We get it, it can be a deterrent if your favorite blanket is the one thing that forces you to have to make a trip to the dry cleaners. Especially when you use it every day like you should.

Which is exactly why we made sure that all of our blankets are washer-friendly! Just do it with love.

If you do wash at home - do it on a cold, delicate cycle and then either hang the blanket to air dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat and tumble setting (again, delicate is the way!).

For full details on caring for your new blanket, see our detailed care guide:

Give Back Impact

Feel Good. Do Good. Pass It On.

For every item sold, we work with Trees For The Future to plant a tree in your honor.

Why is that so powerful? By helping small farmers and villages around the world with the planting of fruit & vegetable trees, shade trees and more, together we're going beyond basic environmental change.

Trees For The Future uses a Forest Garden approach to reforestation - planting trees to not only provide environmental benefits, but also food, income, and community agriculture where it's needed most.

Every purchase creates a chain reaction of good and happiness in the world, and it all starts with you.

Commonly asked questions about our blankets

Questions? We Have Answers

Are your blankets machine washable?

Our blankets are designed for ease of care. All of our blankets can be machine-washed on a cold delicate cycle and air-dried.
For the absolute best results, we recommend dry cleaning the blankets as it will always be the safest and most gentle process for them.

Why do some blankets cost more than others?

Since every blanket is woven by hand, there are significant differences in the time it takes to weave each blanket depending on the pattern.

We've created individual collections for our blankets (Solid, Pattern, Deluxe Pattern) to align our pricing based on the time it takes to make each blanket. This ensures that you're getting the best price for the blanket you're purchasing, while our weavers continue getting the fair wages they deserve.

Are the weavers paid a fair wage?

Fair compensation and ethical practices have been at the core of our business model for over 20 years.

Our blankets are handwoven by highly skilled Indigenous artisans, ensuring a unique and high-quality product. While there will always be cheaper factory-made alternatives to a fair wage handwoven blanket, the value lies in the craftsmanship, tradition, and sustainability of our blankets.

What about shipping and returns?

We offer free, fast shipping with all blanket orders. Most orders ship out within 1-2 business days.

If for any reason you're not thrilled with your new blanket within the first 30 days, just let us know and we'll make it easy for you to return it to us.

So far so good! I used it last night when I fell asleep on the couch with the AC blasting and stayed toasty warm. Fingers crossed it is as durable as it feels! The texture is what you would expect from woven blankets so don't expect a sherpa blanket! Overall I think I'd buy again
