100% organic cotton
The 100% organic cotton yarn of this hand-knitted blanket is called "Bells of Ireland," but we went with Platano, the Spanish word for plantain, since Nicaragua produces and consumes lots of plantains and the color is a good match to the green of plantains when they are picked (you can't wait until plantains or bananas turn yellow or the birds will already be picking them apart).
This nice green blanket is made from a chunky-weight yarn called Bud from Juniper Moon Farms, so it's not a lightweight blanket - good and solid with a bit of a rugged/organic feel (naturally).
Size: approximately 25 inches (63.5 cm) along each dimension
Care: Officially (from the yarn suppliers): hand wash cold, lay flat to dry, no bleach, no iron. However... We've washed and dried all of these blankets already, and tried to knit them a little larger to handle shrinkage. Medium dryer heat is OK, just don't leave it in all the way until it's bone dry. Take it out and lay it flat under a ceiling fan (or in the sun) once it's warm and 50-75% dry and it will be fine.
Yarn: 100% organic cotton
