Ardtun Bog Cotton Blanket

£165.00

The first in our Mull Landscape series, the design of the Ardtun Bog Cotton Blanket was inspired by the sight of the cottongrass growing on the peat of Ardtun, here on the Ross of Mull.  (See Description below for more information)

Available in two colour variations – Hebridean (the darker one) and Silver (the lighter one) reflecting the weft colour.  The warp in both versions has stripes of Shetland White, Moorit and our naturally hand-dyed greens to create the colours of the peat and the cottongrass.

Brushed for a lovely soft finish. W150cm x L 180cm plus fringes

Look out for the Tiroran Woodland and Gribun Beach Pebble Blankets in the New Year!

– 2 Variations Hebridean (Dark) and Silver (Light)

Traditionally the heads of the cottongrass were used to stuff pillows or make wicks for candles, but it is said that in World War 1 it was collected and used for wound dressings.  Ardtun was an area of Bunessan that was offered as a place to live for those who refused to leave during the Highland Clearances and it is still dotted with old croft houses, one of which was the red-roofed Knockan House – home to the local weaver Malcolm Black.
