Patterned Merino Throw
These cozy and soft throws are woven by a small company on antique looms dating back to the 1800's in the UK. The plaids are a modern take on classic tweeds and work as a luxurious covers for curling up on the sofa or as a travel wrap, or cozy shawl.
Crafted from fine merino lambswool, these are truly heirloom pieces meant to be enjoyed for many generations.
Many of the blankets are made by small companies, some on antique looms in Maine, as well as in the UK, Ireland and Peru with an understated sophistication and a timeless quality that expresses both function and elegance.

Co-founders Michael Zung and Alex Bates:
Michael Zung is an entrepreneur with a passion for healthy living and healthy start-ups. He also has a passion for introducing artisan-crafted goods to a wider audience and for living with nature indoors. His motto? “More nature the better”.
Alex Bates is a design maven and obsessive gardener with a lifetime’s experience developing hand-crafted goods and brands that do good. She’s also a serial collaborator who brings people from all walks of the design and artisan worlds together.
Mike and Alex were introduced by a mutual friend and quickly realized they shared not just a love of nature but also a vision for a new kind of company. One that designed and curated the beautiful, meaningful, purposeful things you need to make a natural home.
Mike and Alex put on their thinking/designing/gardening caps and named the new company “Bloomist”, a nod to their commitment to helping artists, artisans, and makers flourish.
