Grazalema Blankets: Tradition and Artisanal Quality

History of Grazalema Blankets

Origins in the Sierra de Cádiz

The origin of the Grazalema Blankets, specifically the well-known Grazalema stirrup blankets, dates back to the 18th century, a time when the abundant water resources of the Grazalema Natural Park were used to process the wool of merino sheep. These water mills were essential in the initial process of cleaning and preparing the wool, which was later transformed into blankets and other textiles.

Evolution and Renown Through the Centuries

Over the centuries, Grazalema blankets, including the Grazalema stirrup blankets, have gained a prestige that transcends Spanish borders. Their international fame is due to the combination of ancestral techniques with the exceptional quality of the wool, keeping alive the artisanal traditions while adapting to the contemporary demands of the global market.

How are Grazalema Blankets Made?

Selection of Merino Wool

Each blanket begins with the selection of the finest merino wool, known for its softness, durability, and thermal insulation capability. This wool comes directly from sheep raised in the ideal climatic conditions of Grazalema, ensuring top-quality material for the production of the Grazalema stirrup blankets and other models.

The Artisanal Weaving Process

The weaving of the blankets, including the specialized Grazalema stirrup blankets, is performed on manual looms, operated by artisans who have inherited and perfected their skills through generations. This meticulous process ensures that each blanket is not only durable but also unique, with a quality that modern machines cannot replicate.

Finishes and Quality of the Blankets

The final manufacturing process includes a detailed finishing where the blankets are carefully brushed, cut, and finished. The fringes, typically hand-knotted on the Grazalema stirrup blankets, are a distinctive feature that adds a touch of elegance and craftsmanship.
