Will a throw cover my bed?

Will a throw fit my sofa?
Yes. Our throws can be draped over the back or arm of a sofa or laid across the seat cushions, and they suit everything from a two-seater to a large corner sofa.
Materials and where they're made
Where are your blankets made?
Our Irish throws are woven on the West Coast of Ireland. Our Welsh throws and picnic blankets are woven in Wales, and our Harlequin and Union Flag throws are made in England.
Where does the wool come from?
For most of our products, the wool comes from New Zealand or Australia. Most British wool is too coarse for soft blankets and is used for carpets and other textiles instead.
What's the difference between pure new wool, merino lambswool and Shetland wool?
Pure new wool is 100% wool used for the first time. Merino lambswool comes from the first shearing of merino lambs and is especially soft. Shetland wool comes from the Shetland breed and is hard-wearing. Our guide to wool types explains more.
What's the difference between your Irish and Welsh throws?
Our Irish throws measure 200 x 145 cm and come in herringbone and check weaves, many with contrasting tassels and coloured edges. Our Welsh throws are slightly narrower and longer at 150 x 183 cm, woven from pure new wool in classic check, herringbone and beehive patterns.
Do you sell anything other than wool?
Yes. We sell 100% linen throws woven in Ireland, and two-person picnic blankets in a recycled wool blend (50% wool, 50% other fibres).
Care
How should I clean my blanket or throw?
All our products should be dry cleaned only. Between cleans, airing your blanket outdoors on a dry day is the best way to keep it fresh. See our full care guide.
Picnic blankets
Are your picnic blankets waterproof?
Our pure new wool picnic blankets have a waterproof backing to keep you dry on damp grass. Our lighter recycled wool blend picnic blankets don't have a waterproof backing.
How many people fit on a picnic blanket?
Our 145 x 183 cm waterproof picnic blankets suit a family or small group. Our 120 x 153 cm recycled wool blend blankets are sized for two.
Gifts
Do your blankets make good gifts?
Yes. Our throws and picnic blankets are popular gifts for weddings, birthdays, housewarmings and Christmas. They're a lasting, practical present for someone who seems to have everything.
