Seljak Baby - Pink

¥20,000

The Seljak Baby Play Blanket is a versatile, eco-friendly baby blanket for indoor and outdoor playtime. The blanket is breathable, stain and odour resistant, and machine washable. Because each blanket is made with offcuts, reflecting the production run before it, they are truly unique and may vary slightly in colour and texture.

- 78cm x 108cm
- Undyed, whipstitch finish in four colours
- 80% recycled wool
- 20% blend of polyester and other fibres
- Made in Tasmania, Australia
- Closed loop, sustainable, ethically made

Care for your blanket: Because this is a naturally antibacterial product, the easiest way to clean your blanket is to air it out by hanging it in the sun (plus it's environmentally friendly). Spot clean dirty marks and spills with lukewarm soapy water. If necessary, machine wash at maximum 30 degrees with a wool detergent and hang dry. Reducing machine washing extends your blanket’s life and reduces energy and water consumption.

Manufacture location

Tasmania, Australia

Tasmania, Australia.

Our Tasmania made blankets are our original blankets, consisting of our earlier Colour and Baby range. They were our first recycled wool mill partner, a 150 year old mill in Tasmania that weaves luxury blankets. The by-product from the process is used to make our recycled wool blankets. Offcuts are collected from the factory floor, which are overruns, trimmings and scraps from the spinning or weaving stages. These offcuts plus old blankets are ripped up in an industrial ragging machine, spun into new yarn and made into blankets.


Geelong, Australia.

The yarn in Seljak Brand blankets created in 'Made in Geelong' blankets are considered deadstock yarn.

We work with a Geelong based Mill that was left with ‘deadstock’ yarn due to over-ordering or customers of theirs that changed their designs or quantities last minute. The yarn sits unused in the warehouse gathering dust and getting moth-eaten and eventually gets sent to landfill.

To save this material our Rugged range is made with this limited deadstock fabric which is why it is limited edition. Once the deadstock yarn is used, it’s gone, and we can’t make the blankets again – which is a unique aspect of working with deadstock.


Italy, Europe.

Seljak Brand uses yarn made of post-consumer textiles waste, which is discarded clothing like old woolen jumpers. The ‘waste’ is recycled into new yarn at mills located in a textiles region near Florence, Italy.

The woollen garments are sorted into colours and by material type, and fibre quality. Colour experts meticulously match the colours of every yarn lot so they can offer ‘stock colours’ no matter what garments they’re recycling. Each time, the recipe will be slightly different but the end result will look the same.They are then ragged and shredded and spun into a new yarn with a bit of polyamide for strength. They do not weave blankets at these mills; instead they are sent to the mill we work with in Lithuania where the yarn will be made into Seljak blankets.


Lithuania, Europe.

This blanket is made from pre-consumer textiles waste from 16 mills around Europe. Offcuts are collected off the factory floor and sent to the mill we work with in Lithuania for processing. Here, the offcuts are shredded, combed out, spun into a new yarn, ready for weaving into blankets. The mill is almost a century old and is expert at weaving luxurious woollen blankets. This mill also weaves with the aforementioned post-consumer textiles yarn made in Italy.
