JJ Textile began with a childhood in Lithuania, surrounded by animals, and summers spent at a grandparents' orchard watching the seasons turn. That love of the natural world followed founder Jurate Jakstaite through art school, a textile degree in Vilnius, and a master's in Helsinki - where, weaving a daily diary of colour and texture, she discovered what textiles could really be: not just fabric, but a way of expressing something.

After a decade designing for Scandinavian textile brands, Jurate moved to Britain. The rolling fields and quiet grey mornings worked their way into her sketchbook, and JJ Textile was born - animals from her Lithuanian childhood meeting the countryside she'd come to love in Britain.

Today, every blanket, cushion and throw starts the same way it always has: a hand-drawn design, rooted in nature, brought to life by trusted Lithuanian manufacturers in pure wool or wool-cotton blends. Wool, to us, isn't a trend - it's a conviction. Renewable, breathable, and better with age, it's the most honest material we know.

Happy living in the woollen world.
