Harvest - Cynhaeaf. A beautiful rich golden ochre mixed with oatmeal. And guess what - bedcovers are in! But we have only four of them and no more coming until next year, so be quick if you had your eye on one.

We love it when our customers are happy! ☺️🔥

Our popular organic cotton print - the Welsh Lady. Wales is one of the only places in the UK that can claim to have a national costume (or in Welsh - the Gwisg Gymreig draddodiadol!). For all well dressed Welsh ladies out there....

Niwl (Mist). One of our first lambswool blankets and still one of our most popular! This is a delicate, subtle design that works well in most colour schemes - its a touch of prettiness without being too twee.

Spice colours - warm and glowing; with the sage green adding some mellow.

A quick freshen up outside. Often you can do this rather than wash them. If you do need to wash your blanket - you can hand or machine wash in cold water with a gentle detergent and short gentle spin - wool hates heat and too much churning!

Mellow blues 🌊

The ultimate monochrome look - Glo (Coal).

Taste of Wales boxes are back! We can send to a loved one for you - just order online and pop in gift message and recipient’s shipping address and we will get it to them in time for Christmas.

A cosy Victorian farmhouse in Carmarthenshire. Whitewashed external walls are typical of rural Wales. Whitewash is made from crushed and heated limestone. It was one of the cheapest ways to paint a cottage - historically available to the poorest of cottage dwellers.

Drefach Felindre in Carmarthenshire (once know as the 'Huddersfield of Wales' due to its numerous mills and spinners) - three streams converge here providing all the natural power they could want. #wales #cymru #madeinwales #carmarthenshire #welshhistory #welsh

An ideal spring staple - these soft knitted ponchos and wraps - lots of styles and colours now in. I continue to wear mine all through the summer on cooler evenings for a colourful coverup (pictured - the Llechen poncho).
