Boathouse Recycled Pure Wool Blanket
£29.00
Eco-friendly, super-sustainable wool blankets, made using remnant yarns (from Tweedmill’s main throw collection) that might once have been destined for landfill. This “Boathouse” colourway combines tones of waterfront blues, and makes us think of old fisherman’s jumpers. (And funnily enough, it’s just as robust and full of texture!). Perfect for hunkering down in your favourite armchair or cosy spot, and just as good a companion for a breezy shoreline stroll.
- Made in the UK at a traditional Welsh mill
- 100% Natural Fibres | Responsibly-sourced & Mulesing-free wool
- Perfect for: Inside on the sofa, or outside by the beach or lake

Woven using a colourful mixture of leftover wool spools, these blankets (also known locally in Wales as ‘rugs’!) are wonderfully versatile. They have a less-refined finish than our more expensive throws, and are robust and durable…making them ideal for outdoor adventures. Great as a sofa throw too, injecting beautiful natural texture, colour (and extra warmth) into your space, and bringing a little bit of traditional Welsh joy to wherever you throw them. A great gift for the eco-conscious (and our four-legged friends love them too – not least because they’re naturally hypoallergenic, odour-resistant, and self-wicking – great for temperature regulation – unlike synthetic pet beds & blankets.)
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Wool is naturally resistant to dirt, inherently odour-resistant, antimicrobial and antibacterial, so it actually doesn’t need to be washed too often. Giving your blanket a regular shake to remove dust, and airing it on the line when the weather is fair, works a treat for a quick refresh.
- Freshening: Avoid washing too often. Shake every now and again, and an hour on the line in a gentle breeze is perfect for a quick refresh.
- Hand Wash or Machine Wash: Use cool water by hand, or a delicates/wool or cool machine cycle, with a mild liquid detergent suitable for wool. Use a short spin cycle. Avoid using fabric conditioner.
- Spot Cleaning: For small spills or stains, you can spot clean gently with a damp sponge.
- Drying: Line dry (pegged over the line, not by one corner), or lay flat, preferably on top of a cotton towel.
- Don’ts: Don’t hang, shake or wring your rug whilst it’s wet. Do not tumble dry. Do not use bleach.
By following a few key care tips, your woollen item can last a lifetime, and more. See our full Care Guide.
