Rete Jacquard Blanket

This blanket from R+D Lab is made of fine yarns of lambs wool and cashmere with a soft felted finishing to give warmth yet remains light weight. Edges are fished with a special color stitching in an exclusive method, a hand rolled edge that creates a cording effect.

Rete is a quiet nod to Venetian maritime life. Inspired by fishermen’s nets and cast-iron gates, the design features an interlacing pattern of three colours woven using a double-over construction on jacquard looms. The resulting texture is intricate, balanced, and unexpectedly soft like lace in wool. The tonal color scheme and hand-finished edges elevate this design to something between textile and tapestry.
