Blanket Special Editions & Collaborations
Over our 10 years of The British Blanket Company, we have had the opportunity to work with some truly brilliant artists, brands, and mills across the British Isles. Here's a look into the archive to meet our favourite collaborators from recent years.
Angie Lewin 2026
Design Notes
Date: 2026
Fibre: Recycled Cotton
Woven: Lancashire, England
This year we have the pleasure of collaborating on a special edition blanket collection with Scottish-based print artist Angie Lewin.
Angie Lewin is one of Britain's best-known contemporary printmakers and painters. Working from her studio in Scotland, her wood engravings, linocuts, screen prints and watercolours are inspired by the coastlines, meadows and wild places of Britain.
This is the first time Angie's Lewin's designs have been faithfully translated into the form of a woven blanket.
Clarissa Hulse 2025
Design Notes
Date: 2025
Fibre: Recycled Cotton
Woven: Lancashire, England
When we decided to collaborate on a new collection of woven cotton blankets, Clarissa Hulse was the natural choice. From the moment we stepped into her North London studio, we were captivated by her love of colour, nature and pattern – a creative world that felt beautifully aligned with our own.
Clarissa has been designing textiles for over 20 years, and her distinctive style is instantly recognisable: bold botanicals, luminous ombrés and intricate plant silhouettes inspired by her travels and the British countryside. Her passion for the natural world flows through everything she creates, bringing a sense of joy and wonder into the home.
Grace Gillespie 2024
Design Notes
Date: 2024
Fibre: Recycled Cotton
Woven: Lancashire, England
The first of our artist collaborations began close to home, with Bristol printmaker Grace Gillespie. Known for her intricate reduction linocuts, Grace builds up layers of colour to capture the houseplants and garden flowers around her.
Two of her prints, Prayer Plant and Flowers were dramatically increased in scale and woven as Cloud Cotton blankets. Made on traditional jacquard looms in Lancashire, Grace’s flowing lines became bold, almost abstract shapes, woven into four reversible recycled cotton blanket. Together, we created a completely new way to experience her work.
Turtle Doves 2023
Design Notes
Date: 2023
Fibre: Recycled Cashmere & Merino Wool
Woven: Yorkshire, England
Our guest collection with Turtle Doves gave discarded cashmere jumpers a new life. We worked with Yorkshire textile recyclers iinouiio to blend the cashmere offcuts with new merino wool and re-spin them into beautifully soft yarn.
The resulting blankets combined cashmere’s lightness with the warmth of wool, woven in a classic herringbone. The collection celebrated the ingenuity of Britain’s long wool-recycling tradition, turning material that might otherwise be wasted into cashmere blend throws made to be treasured.
