History of old Welsh Blankets
For centuries weaving has carried on in Wales and relied on an economy based on sheep farming
Many of the mills were small, single-family operations which used wool drawn from the immediate locality
These blankets are old textiles and individually sized
They generally fit a small double bed but look great at the end of a larger Queen size or King size bed, on top of a white duvet cover or used as a sofa throw
Approx size 167 cm x 230 cm
