Inspired by the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), our vision was to capture the varied colors and textures of moss—shifting greens, browns, and grays—within a substantial, hand-crafted textile.
We turned to fiber artist Tina Yesanofski of Allentown, Pennsylvania to make our forest bathing dreams come true. Tina dedicated more than sixty hours crocheting the afghan with the traditional “moss stitch,” a knot whose layered, pebbled texture beautifully mimics the look of living moss.
Designed to last for generations, this queen-sized blanket is both a tactile comfort and a visual homage to the forest bed.
About the Artist:
Tina Yesanofski has been working as an artist for over a decade. After a diagnosis of a chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) limited her mobility, she found new creative expression in crochet, creating heirloom-quality textiles in wool.
Origin: Handwoven in Allentown, Pennsylvania
Materials: 100% merino wool ethically sourced from Peru and Uruguay; hand-dyed in Texas
Dimensions: Queen size: 59 in × 65 in, without tassels (150 cm x 165 cm, without tassels)
Weight: 5 lbs (2.27 kg)
Care Instructions:
To preserve the beauty and longevity of your handmade wool afghan, please follow these care instructions:
Gentle cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent when needed. For full washing, hand wash gently in cold water or use a delicate wool cycle on your machine.
Drying: Lay flat to dry, reshaping as necessary. Avoid wringing or twisting to prevent distortion.
Storage: Store folded in a breathable cotton bag or wrapped in acid-free tissue paper. Avoid plastic bags which can trap moisture.
Protection: Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and protect from moths using natural repellents like cedar blocks or lavender sachets.
