Te Whārua

Woven and ready to ship

Te Whārua nurtures new growth, providing sanctuary and nourishment, fortifying community and collective action for common goals and where the consideration of a lofty aspiration, ascending maunga, is even a possibility.

The side borders of this design are inspired by ranges that border the expanse of the valley, displayed in the woven body of the blanket. Lined with rows of niho taniwha (sawed tooth).  Displaying the many family houses that populate the valleys of home, niho taniwha is reflective of the tenacious endeavor of the people to care and provide for family and community.

The waharua within the main decorative border reflect the sheltering refuge of Te Whārua, while the black warp is accentuated here to reflect the shadows cast by the forest canopy. These motifs describe best practice for how we engage with the environment and the people around us in order to thrive together.

The puna wai spiral motifs describe the qualities of our valleys as fresh spring water gushes forth from deep underground aquifers. A finite resource that requires a reciprocation of care, as our fresh water nourishes both the environment and the people, we must be vigilant to ensure these qualities endure into the future.

This blanket is woven with 100% New Zealand Lambswool and four different weave structures have been used to enhance the design. Te Whārua has been milled and pressed to achieve a soft and smooth feel and features a blanket stitch edge.

The yarn colours used are Mamaku Fern, Weka gold and Canopy Black the design also features a reversible contrasting colour way.

Wool blankets are among the most durable and desirable of all blankets. They're soft and warm, and are very difficult to stain or damage. Wool blankets are also very easy to care for and you don’t need to wash them often, in fact, it’s best to wash them sparingly and some guidelines recommend washing wool blankets once every three months.

Check out our product care page for further information on how to care for your blanket.
