Description
Our Cumbrian Summer Blanket is a real delight with its striking geometric design and double-faced colouring. You can use it as an extra ‘sheet’ in Winter or as a lightweight layer on cool summer nights. In the north of England we often need a blanket year-round, even during a Cumbrian summer! This one will brighten up your day in every season and is perfect for snuggling.
An enduring favourite with our customers, these blankets are woven in small batches each year (just 6 of each colour) from a blend of our Hebridean and Bluefaced Leicester wools, which together create a soft but hard-wearing fabric.
They are a substantial size — approximately 160cm x 260cm plus a short fringe (63″ x 100″) — and will easily cover a king-sized bed or a large sofa.
Once again, we have a wonderful range of colours all set against a natural grey, including:
- Great Burnet – deep rich red
- Beech — rich dark orange
- Madder — bright red/orange
- Grass — bright fresh green
- Moss — soft grey-green
- Slate — soft greenish blue
- River — rich bright blue
- Ocean — silvery northern blue
- Lichen — pale sophisticated yellow – sold out
- Goldenrod — brighter yellow
- Thistle — soft calming purple
- Sandstone — soft greyish pink
