This king size pure wool blanket begins with wool from our Devon Closewool sheep, which is skilfully blended with coloured British wool by the master weavers at The Bristol Weaving Mill to capture the spectacular sunsets we experience at our Salcombe Farm.
Each evening brings a unique sky display - clouds illuminated in striking pinks and purples, graduating to brilliant oranges and yellows where they meet the setting sun. This natural gradient of sunset colours flows through our blanket's design, recreating that magical moment when day transitions to night over the rolling Devon countryside. Through careful processing and expert weaving, we've preserved these sunset hues in a wool throw that brings the warmth and beauty of Salcombe evenings into your home.
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.

I love the texture and weave, particularly as the wool, spinning and weaving were all from this xcountry. I had a couple of queries , they were dealt with in a friendly and helpful manner. The service I received was exemplary..
