1st lady gives Maine blanket to Irish

Bangor Daily News March 25, 2009

NORTHPORT, Maine — When a delegation from the Republic of Ireland visited the White House last week they were presented with a shamrock-green Swans Island blanket made especially for Michelle Obama.

The 50-inch-by-70-inch throw of merino wool was presented by the first lady during the Irish delegation’s annual St. Patrick’s Day lunch with the president. The blanket was hand-woven at the knitting room and showroom of Swans Island, whose facilities are on U.S. Route 1 in Northport.

A 50-by-70-inch throw from Swans Island Blankets starts at $395.

Jim's comment: Swan's Island has done a suburb job of producing and marketing a superior product.
