1. Picnic blankets made from wool

When it comes to picnic rugs, wool stands out as a premium choice. Its natural properties make it an excellent material for outdoor use. Wool offers superior insulation, keeping you comfortable on both warm and cool days. It's also highly durable, ensuring that your picnic blanket will stand the test of time. With its soft texture, wool provides a luxurious and cosy experience, adding an extra touch of sophistication to your outdoor gatherings. Plus, if there's a spillage, a woollen picnic rug can be simply spot cleaned and aired outside.

 

2. Picnic blankets with waterproof backing

One feature that is indispensable for a picnic blanket is a waterproof backing. This is Britain after all, and unexpected damp ground or sudden drizzle can quickly ruin your picnic experience. Look for practical picnic blankets with a waterproof backing to keep moisture at bay and provide a barrier between you and the ground. This way, you can enjoy your picnic without worrying about wet grass or dampness seeping through

3. Picnic blankets with leather carry straps

Portability is key when it comes to picnic blankets. Real leather carry straps not only add a touch of elegance but also provide practicality. These sturdy straps make it easy to carry your blanket to your desired picnic spot, whether it's a park, beach, or countryside. The durability and timeless appeal of leather ensure that your picnic blanket will remain a stylish companion for countless outings

By choosing a blanket made in the UK, you not only support local artisans but also embrace a piece of heritage. Each blanket carries the charm and character of traditional British craftsmanship, adding a touch of uniqueness to your picnic experience.
