The White House selected a shamrock green blanket throw made by our client, Swans Island Blankets of Maine, as one of the gifts for the delegation from Ireland meeting on March 17, 2009, given by First Lady Michelle Obama. The throw is made from the finest wool, from yarn spun in the United States and woven on American made hand looms in the traditions of our fore fathers. Even the custom box it is presented in is made in the USA.
When they got the call, the blanket was still on the loom. Jumping to action, the blanket was finished to their specifications, cut off the loom and hemmed in Swans Island signature silk hem. A custom tag was made for the blanket stating, “Custom Designed for Michelle Obama”.
