The Virtue Blanket is a very warm blanket covered with modern virtues.

It is big enough to embrace two persons and remind them of being virtuous.

This Virtue Blanket was designed with present-day virtues in mind. They are written in Icelandic: Trú (faith), heilsa (health), jákvæðni (positivity), þolinmæði (patience), hreinskilni (honesty), heiðarleiki (integrity), fjölskyldu- og vinabönd (family and friendship). The idea for this Virtue Blanket comes from Icelandic virtue cloths of the early 18th century, which were used as counterpanes, or bedspreads.

It is made from undyed Icelandic wool that retains its natural texture. Icelandic wool is lighter than most other types. It is very warm, and has excellent breathing characteristics.

The Virtue Blanket is available in Iceland, at The National Museum, Kraum, Epal Design, Sirka Akureyri, at online design store www.birkiland.com and Kulturhuset Copenhagen.
