Wool Blanket 4

In the tradition of the Bayburt *Ehram*—a local handicraft with a geographical indication—the color purple carries the deepest cultural and social significance; it serves as a profound symbol, representing the various stages of a woman’s life and the wisdom she has gained along the way.

In this region, the term "purple *ehram*" does not refer to a standard violet hue; rather, it denotes darker, richer tones—shades leaning toward deep brown, eggplant purple, or even near-black.

Thanks to the natural microclimatic insulating properties of the wool, these *ehram* wraps provide excellent warmth and protection against the cold in winter, while in summer, they diffuse sunlight to keep the wearer cool.

This particular wool wrap measures 180 x 200 cm and features *pirinç deni* (intricate, grain-like) embroidery, along with a decorative border (*haşiye*) and a distinct blue-trimmed edge.
