Look closely at the subtle pattern on Åre, this thick, cozy-as-hell wool blanket by Espen Voll and Torbjørn Andersen for Norwegian brand Roros Tweed. Though the duo has been experimenting with bold color combinations, the softer shades of these single-hued coverings get a bit of visual intrigue with the shapes that emerge during the production process. The lines are woven more tightly than the rest of the fabric, and when the textile goes through a machine that tufts it up, the tufting needles (not the technical term!) can't catch the tauter weave, so it remains imprinted.
