Juniper & Bliss
The blankets display varying hues that the dyeing process yields from a single batch of vegetation -- from the vibrant and the deep to the soft and the watery. This limited edition of one-off KIND blankets is made in house by Juniper & Bliss. Knitting and dyeing each Kind Blanket takes approximately 120 hours. We make them because we like to.

Plant dyed and hand knitted Kind Blanket in madder dye
Every Kind Blanket is special and unique. Hand knitted in England from traditional Norwegian wool, it is edged with a halo of mohair and dyed with the natural colours from plants gathered in fields, forests and gardens that surround our studio in Kent. Each blanket tells the story of its colour.
This blanket is an heirloom of the future. We hope you will enjoy it and pass it on for others to keep warm.
Juniper & Bliss specialize in naturally dyed, ethically produced hand made textiles.
Kind Blanket – Madder
Madder red, extracted from the root of the madder plant has been treasured since ancient times with evidence of its use in the Indus civilization, the tomb of Tutankhamun, the ruins of Pompeii and ancient Corinth.
A key ingredient in the luxury textiles trade throughout history, madder continues to reign supreme in the world of plant dyes. For our Kind blanket, we have sourced organic madder from Europe, grown as part of a crop rotation scheme.
