Rodopska Takan – Bulgarian Rodope Blanket – Natural

Rodopska Takan is a textile mill in Smolyan, a town in the Rhodope Mountains of Bulgaria. It has been making blankets since 1964. The company continues the textile tradition of the region, which is known for its thick woollen blankets.

The mill buys wool from local shepherds, including farmers who keep karakachan sheep. This old Bulgarian breed almost died out a few years ago. Rodopska Takan also works with merino and fine wool from certified Bulgarian suppliers.

Besides the traditional Rhodope designs, the range includes merino blankets, handmade rugs, shawls and cushions. Every heavy wool blanket is made in Smolyan.
