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 British yarns in a spectrum of classic blues inspired by our maritime surroundings in Salcombe. The ombre design transitions through creamy Pure Aran reminiscent of seafoam and sailing canvas, through the varied blues of Fistral, Kielder, and Indigo that capture different moods of the sea, before deepening to Corvette and Navy that reflect the depths of offshore waters.

 

Living by the coast, we're surrounded by countless shades of blue - from pale morning skies reflected in calm harbours to deep Atlantic waters. Our blanket's flowing colour scheme recreates this quintessentially nautical palette, perfect for wrapping around your shoulders on evening boat trips or cool coastal nights. Through careful processing and expert weaving, we've captured these classic maritime hues in a wool throw that brings the essence of the sea with you, 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.
