Guatemalan Quetzal Momo Blanket

Description

Each $5.00 ticket you purchase gives you a chance to win this Mayan Momo blanket with a vibrant menagerie of butterflies, goats, geese, and the Guatemalan national bird, the Resplendant Quetzal. From Momostenango in the Central Highlands, the volcanic environment makes these blankets unique to anywhere else in the world. They are woven and then taken to pools of geothermal heated water. There, the blankets are felted to create a soft, fuzzy finish. These 100% wool blankets are sourced from domestic sheep and dyed in country.  Slightly rough at first, the blanket will soften with use. The size of this throw blanket is 60” x 70”.

This Momo blanket was donated by Peregrin, founded by WARP Board Member Emily Huber.
