Gelert - Welsh Honeycomb Blanket

Piece of Welsh Weaving Heritage

The last Welsh honeycomb blankets woven by Raymond Jones of Melin Teifi before his retirement. They can't be repeated.

A traditional Welsh honeycomb blanket. A very popular design 'back in the day', with most Welsh households having one or more of these blankets. The blankets were woven in multi-colours, but our design has the same colour warp and weft producing a solid colour blanket. Sumptuous, textured blankets. 

• A traditional Welsh design woven to create the square or waffle effect which gives the honeycomb appearance.
• This type of weave produces a blanket that is warm and light.
• Finished with a hand-stitched binding in either Welsh flannel, Irish linen or Welsh lambswool,
  
• Approx size: 180 x 140 cms - [70 x 55 inches]
• Approx. weight: 1.6 kgs - [3.5 lbs]
