Weaver Green Recycled Blankets

Weaver Green Recycled Blankets.  It all started when Tasha and Barney were travelling in Asia and stumbled across a rudimentary fishing rope, made from unraveled plastic bottles. Used to tether fishing boats, the rope was both strong and waterproof, and offered a moment of inspiration. Could some of the world's plastic waste be turned into a useful and practical yarn? The opportunity to help clear up some of the 35 billion plastic bottles that end up discarded every year was too good to miss and soon, Tasha and Barney were exploring the many ways that this practical, robust material could be given a second chance at long-term use within our homes and gardens. It took 7 years to create the perfect textile, that not only has the look and feel of wool, but is also machine washable, stain-resistant, environmentally friendly and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
