Thor Bedspread with off-white edge

Thor Bedspread – Wool for a wonderful night’s sleep

The Thor bedspread brings warmth, softness and beauty to your bed. The spread has a thicker density than the Nebula Throw/Shawl or the Sisteron Plaid, because it is a double weave. It is more sturdy than a blanket. Its name “Thor” is therefore quite fitting.

Because this bedspread is made of wool and is a double weave, the spread is used as a quilt instead of  comforter. Wool is insulating: in the winter it keeps the heat underneath the spread, in the summer it is cooling.

The bedspread has a white border which is attached by the coming and going of the shuttle during weaving. This movement of the shuttle gives every woven piece of fabric from Teixidors the recognizable Teixidors edge, a Teixidors trademark.

The Thor Bedspread is an exceptional wool product from Teixidors, because the Spanish weaving mill has only one loom large enough to make this bedspread. The loom is 3 metres wide and only a handful of weavers are strong enough to operate it. Not only is the weaving process time consuming and labour intensive, but also the preparation of the loom takes time, skills and knowledge. At Teixidors it takes approximately two days for two weavers to prepare the loom. And then the weaving still needs to start.

This bedspread pairs beautifully with the Sisteron Pillow Covers which complete each bedroom with beautiful decorative pillows. These bedspreads have an off-white edge. The Thor bedspreads are also available with a terracotta edge.

  Teixidors was founded in 1983 as a sheltered workplace to offer those with mental and social disabilities a place and occupation. As of 2017, 23 people work in the workshop, finishing all the woven fabrics from beginning till end.

• Each Teixidors piece is unique
  In the Teixidors workshop, each item is hand-woven. Looms which are up to 3 meters wide are manually operated by the weavers who have completed a 3 year long education program. The qualities and skills of each weaver makes each woven piece entirely unique. 
• Blankets, throws, pillow covers from the Ecological Collection consist of 100% organic material traceability
