Designed in 1991, the Crux blanket by Swedish artist Pia Wallen is a coveted design classic. Produced by a small family company in Sweden, the wool blanket is available in limited quantities, with new colors introduced yearly; it's hard to come by (Skandium in the UK sells out before the blankets hit the floor) and high-priced (nearly $1,000). So we were interested to spot a cotton flannel version at Mjolk in Canada for a quarter of the cost.
