Inabel Baby Blanket

 

This abel iloco blanket was woven by two handloom weavers in La Union, Philippines, which has a weaving tradition and history that goes as far back as the galleon trade during the Spanish period. To make a blanket in La Union, the weavers sit side by side on a floor loom, throwing and catching the shuttle (a tool that holds thread for the warp) to create the fabric. The wooden pedals they use vary depending on the inabel design. For this particular design called, trambia, they use a 4-pedal loom.

 

Many Filipinos who grew up using this blanket can attest that it's good for both cold and warm temperatures, and it is because of how tight the threads are woven, which contributes to breathability.

 

Now, these blankets come in a different size having been made for the little ones. These blankets can fit in most cribs and toddler beds and are also big enough to be used as a swaddle or mat.
