About Kerstin Landström

Kerstin Landström is a Swedish designer whose wool blanket collection is among the most recognizable lines in Nordic home textiles. Her patterns carry Swedish place names (Dalarna, Visby, Uppsala, Rättvik, Bohus, Skaraborg), heritage motifs (Arvet means "heritage"; the Bunad pattern references Norwegian folk costume), and named tributes (Linnaeus, Anno 1862). The blankets are produced from 100% Norwegian lambswool — a longer, warmer, more weather-resistant fiber than southern European wools — at a standard heirloom size of 130 × 180 cm (51.2" × 70.9"). Built to last decades; many are handed down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Norwegian wool if Kerstin Landström is Swedish?

Norwegian lambswool has longer fibers than most southern wools — warmer per weight, better at shedding moisture, more durable. The best Scandinavian designer blankets use it. The design is Swedish, the wool is Norwegian, the tradition is shared.

What size are the blankets?

Most Kerstin Landström pieces are 130 × 180 cm (51.2 × 70.9 inches) — a generous throw that covers most people and most couches.

How do I care for a wool blanket?

Air out between uses; wool self-cleans. For deeper cleaning, dry-clean or hand-wash cold with wool detergent and lay flat to dry. Don't machine-wash or tumble-dry.

How long will a Landström blanket last?

Decades with proper care. Many Norwegian and Swedish families keep wool blankets across generations.
