Here we will tell you a little about ourselves and our work--you can find more detail with pictures in the History page!

Our Weaving Philosophy

The main objective of our craft for generations has been to provide the highest quality yet affordable handwoven wool blankets. We weave our blankets primarily with Merino lambs' wool--one of the highest grade of natural fibers. The pricing of the blankets does not include our time--our work is truly a labor of love.

Our Products

We weave exclusively high quality wool blankets (although we wove some incredible flokatis as well) in three sizes with the following approximate sizes: single (50"x76"), double (68"x86") and king (90"x 100"). All blankets have been pre-shrunk in order to make them machine washable (cold and gentle, very short cycle and dry on line), however care must be exercised in the washing as they can shrink more. If in doubt, hand wash or dry clean.

Testimonials

We have exhibited at many prestigious art and craft festivals throughout the USA for well over 30 years now. Over and over again at these and many other shows we hear gratitude and love for our blankets. Comments such as these from happy Chule blankets owners are very common:

1. We purchased several of your blankets for well over dozen of years and we love them--they are as new and we fight over them. Must get several more!

2. We gave your blanket as a wedding gift--it was the best gift the newlyweds said they received.

3. My daughter left the house for college. She would not part from her Chule blanket that she grew up with.

4. We purchased so many of your blankets the entire house is covered with them. There is only one problem with them: they last for ever and keep their shape!

5. My grandfather used and loved his Chule blankets non-stop to his last day. It was the best gift I ever gave him. Thank you.

6. I was given one of your blankets as a gift and I just love it! It smells so good and it is so warm I don't use the heater in the house any more!

7. I ordered a blanket in custom colors and could not believe how quickly you made it. It matches perfectly my living room colors. I use it as a throw to watch TV.

Our Weaving Studio

All the weaving is done by Chule (a fifth generation weaver from Macedonia), Vera (Chule's wife for 60 years now), and their son Niko in Torrance, CA. The converted warehouse into a weaving studio houses six looms with various weaving equipments (warper, bobbin winders, etc.) and myriad of wool yarns.
