Things to look forward to at The British Blanket Company

Hi, it's Bethan here to share with you an exciting update on the next chapter of The British Blanket Company. Over the past few months my brother Joe and I have been busy behind the scenes working on new blanket collections and colour palettes we hope you'll love. 

We've been meeting with our mills, buried deep in yarn shade cards and chatting to all our lovely loyal customers to find out how we can create a new collection that's even better matched to your desire for naturally cosy pieces, infused with British quality and made with love.

As we prepare to bring you beautiful new collections and a sparkling new website experience, we want to tell you more about our journey so far and thank you for supporting us since we started back in 2015. Here's a taste of what we've been up to recently!

The Next Chapter for The British Blanket Company

Very soon we'll be unveiling a new look for The British Blanket Company, reaffirming our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and the unparalleled comfort of British-made blankets. Our collection will be expanding, so that as well as the naturally cosy wool blankets you love, we'll be bringing you additional choices made from sustainable natural fibres, including recycled cotton and alpaca. Plus, more versatile sizes and a wider selection of other cosy pieces to make time at home even warmer and more relaxing.

 

The Heart of British Craftsmanship

Every blanket we create reflects the skill and dedication of British artisans and as always our journey begins in the landscapes of the British Isles. Expect our new collections to celebrate the joyful colour we see all around us, from the brightly-painted houses of our home city of Bristol to the plants and flowers that bring beauty to our natural surroundings. From our Bristol studio, to the rolling hills of Yorkshire, and the rugged coast of Donegal, our mills and makers are selected with care to ensure top-notch quality and sustainability.

Weaving Tradition into Every Thread

Our blankets are woven with precision and care, combining time-honoured techniques with modern design. Each piece is crafted on traditional looms by skilled weavers who bring years of expertise to their work. The result is both beautiful and durable, offering aesthetic appeal and enduring comfort. In every new design we create, we stay true to our passion for naturally cosy fibres that ensure our blankets, scarves and picnic rugs give you the softest feel, finest quality and timeless style.

 

A Naturally Cosy and Sustainable Home

Wrapping yourself in a British Blanket Company blanket offers unmatched comfort and warmth, making any space feel inviting. Whether you’re curling up with a good book, enjoying a quiet evening by the fire, or simply adding a decorative touch to your living room, our blankets are the perfect companion. We believe you simply can't create natural beauty from synthetic materials, so we'll soon be giving you even more sustainable natural blanket options to choose from, with new designs in pure wool and recycled cotton. Bliss!

Practical And Versatile Sizes

Since founding The British Blanket Company in 2015 we've always embraced your feedback and requests. One request we hear loud and clear is that you want even bigger blankets for king size and super-king beds and we're delighted to bring you an even longer 250cm blanket size in our new range. We've also improved our smaller blanket dimensions too, so they'll be even more versatile, whether you use your blanket on your bed, sofa or for snuggling in your comfiest chair.

Quality You Can Trust

When you choose a blanket from us, you can trust you've selected a lasting investment. By making our blankets in small batches in UK and Ireland, we can prioritise quality at every stage of production, from the durability of our natural fibres to the meticulous attention to detail in our weaving process. This simply isn't possible for other brands that use lower quality materials or mass-produce their blankets overseas, as many sadly have chosen to do. Here at The British Blanket Company, you can always be sure that your decision to buy a blanket from us supports local jobs, has a low carbon footprint and helps to keep the historic traditional of weaving in the UK and Ireland alive.
