Welsh Blankets

Nothing says 'hiraeth' more than iconic Welsh blankets. All FelinFach Welsh blankets are woven at mills in Wales.

Double Weave Reversible Blankets: Our tapestry style Welsh blankets are woven using a double-cloth technique, creating a fully reversible blanket. This feature allows for two distinct colourways in one blanket, offering versatility and practicality.

Welsh Blanket Patterns: Our traditional designs feature iconic patterns such as the Caernarfon (Portcullis) design, which is highly recognisable and synonymous with Welsh tapestry blankets. Other traditional Welsh blanket pattern names include the much rarer Pennsylvania and Dyffryn patterns.

Quality and Durability: Welsh blankets are renowned for their exceptional quality and durability, often lasting for centuries. Our woollen blankets are woven with 100% British wool, they are breathable, hard-wearing, and easy to care for. Looked after carefully they will last a lifetime and become an heirloom in themselves.

Cultural Significance: Traditional Welsh blankets are deeply rooted in Welsh cultural heritage, often passed down as family heirlooms or given as wedding gifts. They symbolise tradition and craftsmanship - 'back in the day', there was a Welsh woollen blanket in every home.

Other Welsh Blankets: Besides tapestry blankets, Welsh mills also produced other styles such as Knee Rugs and honeycomb weave or waffle blankets. They are known for their warmth and lightness. Our Gelert blanket is a traditional waffle blanket.
