Description
This lovely blanket brings the subdued yet rich colours of autumn into your home. Although it is essentially a variation on my Cumbrian Summer Blanket I think it deserves its own name. The Autumn Blanket has the same striking geometric design and double-faced colouring as the Summer Blanket, but the base wool is the soft grey-brown ‘Morar’ from my Hebridean/Shetland yarn collection. The rich tones of the Bluefaced Leicester weft have been achieved by dyeing the yarn twice to reach a greater depth of colour.
This is a buttery soft but substantial blanket. It’s a little heavier than the Summer Blanket and at 150cm x 270cm the Autumn Blanket is more than large enough to throw across a king-sized bed. Drape one over your couch, add an extra layer on a cold night, or simply snuggle under this very warm and comforting blanket while you gaze at the myriad stars to be seen in a Cumbrian dark sky.
There are just ten blankets available in the following colours:
