Care

We recommend dry cleaning, but you can wash by hand in cold or cool water (no more than 30 degrees) using a delicate detergent. Move the fabric gently in the water for a couple of minutes. Rinse with cold water and press the excess moisture out - don't wring. Follow with a quick spin in the washing machine. Pull into shape whilst damp to straighten, then line dry on a breezy day or dry flat. Cool iron if necessary.

"I was given my first Welsh blanket 30 years ago and it was love a first sight, leading to an obsessive passion for collecting vintage Welsh blankets. It was so exciting for me to have the opportunity to work with the legendary Melin Tregwynt, whose reputation for weaving Welsh throws is unparalleled. For this blanket, I used the traditional St. David's Cross design, and selected our own exclusive colours to give such a traditional design our own modern spin."
