Welcome to Autumn and to Blodwen's New 'Hafod' and 'Hendre' Rare Breed Textile Collections.
Welcome to Autumn and to Blodwen's New 'Hafod' and 'Hendre' Rare Breed Textile Collections.
To celebrate the coming of the Autumn season, Blodwen is launching a new blanket and throw Collection woven from the fleeces of local rare breed sheep - Manx, Hebridean, Jacob, Shetland and of course, Welsh Black Mountain.
Woven from undyed, natural wool at our local mill, the blankets come in a palette of soft neutrals - cream, oatmeal, brown, grey and charcoal. To complement the woven textiles, hand-knitted, textured, blankets, throws and cushions have been beautifully crafted by Blodwen's Knitting Circle, using the same yarns.
Sheep have been an integral part of Wales since the Neolithic times and the diversification and preservation of rare breed flocks is a testament to the ingenuity of the Welsh hill-famer across the ages.
The Hafod (Summer Dwelling) and Hendre (Winter Dwelling) Collections are so called to recount the time-old agrarian tradition of moving the sheep from Summer pastures, typically high on the hills, down to the wintering shelter of the valley.
Time to get the blankets out! Cosy-up to Blodwen this Autumn and discover natural, luxurious textiles with pared-down simplicity.
