Blodwen Launches The Heritage Blanket Project .

Blodwen is celebrating St David's Day with the launch of her new textile collection inspired by the discovery of a historical archive of Welsh blanket patterns dating from the 1700's.

The archive is a hand-drawn collection of original designs created by a local weaver and collated into a beautiful pattern book, which was donated to the Parish Records Office in mid Wales, upon his death in 1782.

The Collection is part of the Heritage Blanket Project - a community initiative launched by Blodwen in collaboration with her local Textile College and 180 year old mill, designed to celebrate the 'Craft of the Weaver'. It aims to resurrect historical patterns into a range of new and vibrant textiles - an illustration of Blodwen's on-going commitment to the design and manufacture of unique homewares which fuse together centuries old craftsmanship with contemporary style and utility.

Blodwen's first Heritage Collection offers a range of beautiful doublecloth blankets, throws and cushions - wonderful modern-day heirlooms to celebrate our textile heritage.
