This king-size pure wool blanket begins with wool from our Devon Closewool sheep, which is sent to Yorkshire where it's woven with other coloured yarns that capture the breathtaking Salcombe estuary. The ombre design transitions through creamy Pure Aran representing pristine white sand beaches, light Moorland Grass and Garden Mint depicting shallow waters where sunlight illuminates the seabed, flowing into Summerstorm and Kingfisher blues, and finally deepening to rich Denim that mirrors the depths of the channel.
The Salcombe coastline offers a natural gradient where land meets sea - starting with golden beaches that gradually give way to turquoise shallows before deepening into rich blue waters where boats sail through the estuary. Our blanket's flowing colour scheme recreates this natural transition, perfect for wrapping around your shoulders on evening boat trips or cool coastal nights. Through careful processing and expert weaving, we've captured these distinctive coastal hues in a wool throw that serves as a cherished reminder of Salcombe wherever you may be.
Exceptional Warmth Without Weight
Devon Closewool produces naturally insulating fibres that retain heat while allowing airflow, creating a blanket that keeps you warm without feeling heavy or restrictive. The unique properties of this wool regulate temperature effectively during all seasons.
Superior Craftsmanship
Every stage from sheep to finished blanket happens within Britain. Our wool travels from our Salcombe farm to Yorkshire's historical mills, where it undergoes worsted spinning. This technique combs the fibres to ensure perfect alignment, creating stronger, finer yarn that's Z-spun and S-twisted. The finished yarn then goes to Bristol where master weavers create each blanket on traditional looms, maintaining complete British production that supports local expertise.
Sustainable Heritage Breeds
Our Devon Closewool and Herdwick sheep are traditional British breeds suited to our local landscape. By raising these heritage breeds and combining their wool with other quality British wools, we support agricultural biodiversity while creating superior blankets with excellent insulation properties and durability.
Built For Generations
Devon Closewool has proven its durability through a century of use in challenging weather. Our careful processing preserves the wool's natural strength, while expert weaving creates a dense, hard-wearing structure. The result is a blanket that maintains its shape, warmth and character through years of daily use, actually improving with age.
