Summertime is here and whatever the weather, you will want to spend some time outside. Let's face it in the UK the temperature is likely to be a bit brisk at times. Unless, you are going to haul deckchairs to the park, a blanket on the ground as Dolly Parton (I think) suggested is much easier. This one is a wool mix and easily washed at 40 degrees in a washing machine.
Here is a selection of what we still have available.

Welsh Vintage All Wool Blanket
AVAILABLE AT OUR ONLINE SHOP darty and pike |
Almost too good to sit on and now something of a collector's item, this genuine Welsh blanket from the Drew mill, is 100% wool in a lovely plaid design of light green and pink. Perhaps this one is meant for cuddling up to on the sofa. I'd suggest careful dry cleaning only for this blanket.
Hours of work has gone into crocheting this blanket. I love the light blue colour making this much more cheerful than the usual dark colours often used in crocheted blankets. It's a wool mix so can be washed in the washing machine at low temperatures.

Hand Crocheted Bedspread/Throw
AVAILABLE AT OUR ONLINE SHOP darty and pike |
This is more of a bedspread than something you would take on a picnic, unless it's a posh one. The work that has gone into making this is breathtaking. It's rare to find a hand crocheted item in such stylish colours since these things traditionally use up left over balls of wool. This is a heavy item but very warm and, of course, a unique item.
