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
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
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!).

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 blanket designs 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.
