Above: The Citizenry’s blankets and throws are made by two weaving cooperatives in Peru: the San Pedro Weavers, a group of 20 men whose art-driven textiles win national competitions, and the family-based Weavers of Huancavelica, located in a remote Andean mountain village. Each blanket takes the craftspeople about one week to complete, from spinning the yarn to weaving the blanket to finishing it with hand-knotted or macramé fringes.
