Saddle Blankets -
MK Custom Idaho saddle blankets are handwoven on either a 4-harness floor loom or 2-harness tapestry loom, creating medium- to light-weight blankets that work best as a top blanket over a wool pad. Saddle blankets are 100% wool - both warp and weft. Wool has a natural 'wicking' ability that draws moisture from the horse's back through the blanket to the outside where it can evaporate. This action helps keep the horse's back cooled and reduces the occurrence of scald marks as often occur with cotton or synthetic saddle blankets.
Wool blankets require only a moderate amount of care. Loose dirt and debris can be removed from the surface with a soft brush or vacuumed with a hose attachment. Blankets can also be cleaned with cool water using a spray attachment (at low pressure) on a garden hose and air dried. Wool saddle blankets should never be placed in a clothes dryer or washed with hot water. Blankets can also be dry cleaned.
Saddle blankets are available in single and double sizes, and can be sized to make attractive rugs and wall hangings. Unless otherwise indicated, all yarn is from Weaving Southwest, located in Taos, New Mexico. Wear leathers for saddle blankets are available; please ask for current price.
