AaBe x Knitwit throw

Dutch wool AaBe x Knitwit throw blanket from Kemen Heath sheep

The AaBe blanket has been a symbol of warmth and Dutch solidity since 1929. In collaboration with De Wassum, Stichting The Knitwit Stable is breathing new life into this iconic vintage blanket, with respect for nature, craftsmanship and tradition.

In addition to the blanket, we have also developed a plaid.

Transparent production process

The AaBe x Knitwit blanket is spun with wool from Kempen Heath sheep. Kempen Heath sheep, with their thick, woolly coats, are more than just grazers; they are the silent protectors of the natural landscape. Grazing ensures that the heath remains grassy and vital and that young trees remain short. In their coats, the sheep spread seeds from faded herbs to new growth sites, and their manure stimulates soil life. In this way, Kempen Heath sheep play a crucial role in maintaining the natural balance in valuable natural areas. To ultimately make the blanket, The Knitwit Stable traveled across Europe. In an authentic family blanket factory in Northern Italy, the blanket was carefully crafted. Spun with wool from Kempen Heath sheep, we left the blanket undyed, in its natural color. At the end of its long lifespan, the AaBe x Knitwit blanket can continue its natural cycle, as nutrition for the soil.
