April marks Earth Month – a time to reflect on the small, meaningful choices we can all make to live a little lighter on the planet. At The British Blanket Company, our passion for natural materials and ethical craftsmanship has always gone hand-in-hand with sustainability. This month, we're celebrating two beautiful collections that embody this commitment: our Random Recycled Wool Blankets and Recycled Cloud Cotton Blankets.
If you’re looking to refresh your home with comfort, colour, and conscience in mind, these blankets are a wonderful place to start.
Every batch of our Random Recycled Wool Blankets is a little bit different, so the colour you'll receive will be a wonderful surprise

A one-of-a-kind designs with a waste-not-want-not spirit
Our Random Recycled Wool Blankets are full of surprises – in the best possible way. Each batch is completely unique, woven using a blend of recycled wool yarns leftover from rug and upholstery fabric production. Rather than letting this high-quality yarn go to waste, we re-spin and reweave it into new creations that are as vibrant as they are sustainable.
Why you’ll love them:
-
Eco-conscious by nature: Made from 100% recycled wool, this blanket saves beautiful fibres from landfill.
-
Every batch is unique: The colour combinations are a joyful surprise, adding personality to any room.
-
Naturally warm and breathable: Wool’s natural insulating properties make this an ideal all-season throw.
-
Perfect for the sofa, bed, or garden: Available in a choice of two versatile sizes, small or large.
- Popular with pets: Practical as pet blankets, they're ideal for protecting furniture while still looking good.
Because the exact colours vary from blanket to blanket, you get to experience the fun of a lucky dip! Ideal for those who love a touch of spontaneity and delight in finding something truly one-off.
