Welsh Blankets
All FelinFach Welsh blankets are hand woven at mills in Wales. Designed in Wales, woven in Wales and made with 100% pure new wool. Wool is practical, hard wearing and easy to care for. It is breathable and natural and will help to keep you warm in winter and cool in summer. A hand-woven, traditional Welsh blanket is a treasure to hand down to future generations.
Traditional Welsh Blanket Patterns
Our Welsh blankets vary in design, size and weight from heavyweight double weave reversible blankets to the traditional honeycomb weave blankets and knee rugs. Many of our Welsh blankets are woven with traditional Welsh blanket patterns, in particular the Caernarfon Portcullis pattern. All our Welsh blankets and throws are made from British wool and are not vintage or used or second-hand.

Welsh Blankets - Traditional Welsh Blanket Patterns
Nothing says 'hiraeth' more than iconic Welsh blankets. All FelinFach Welsh blankets are hand woven at mills in Wales and stand out from other types of blankets due to several unique characteristics:
Double Weave Reversible Blankets: Our tapestry style Welsh blankets are woven using a double-cloth technique, creating a fully reversible pattern on both sides. This feature allows for two distinct designs in one blanket, offering versatility and practicality.
Traditional Designs and Patterns: Our blankets feature iconic patterns like the Caernarfon (Portcullis) design, which is highly recognisable and synonymous with Welsh tapestry blankets. Other Welsh blanket pattern names include the much rarer Pennsylvania and Dyffryn patterns.
Quality and Durability: Welsh blankets are renowned for their exceptional quality and durability, often lasting for centuries. Woven with 100% British wool, they are breathable, hard-wearing, and easy to care for. Looked afer carefully they will last a lifetime and become an heirloom in themselves.
Cultural Significance: These blankets are deeply rooted in Welsh cultural heritage, often passed down as family heirlooms or given as wedding gifts. They symbolise tradition and craftsmanship - a Welsh wool blanket for every home.
Other Welsh Blankets: Besides tapestry blankets, Welsh mills also produced other styles like honeycomb (waffle) blankets, which are known for their warmth and lightness. Our Gelert blanket is a traditional honeycomb weave blanket.
