Manx Retro Blanket
£155.00
This lovely retro-looking blanket features yarn from the Manx Loaghtan sheep – an ancient breed native to the Isle of Man, where they have possibly lived in the mountains for the last millenium. The word Loaghtan translates into English as mouse brown, but these blankets are anything but mousey!
We had a limited quantity of naturally-coloured Manx yarn, making this a very limited edition run. Combined with our Hebridean and Shetland “Silver” yarn the blankets are woven in a subtle basket weave pattern. The repeated dotted stripe is in Romney white with our own hand dyed yarns using Ardalanish-grown Weld and Crotal – a lichen gathered from the farm.
Brushed Finish. Approx 180cm x 150cm

Absolutely thrilled with my blanket which arrived today. The soft colours and brushed finish make it a delight to look at and to use. The sustainable, earth-kind approach to its manufacture is just the icing on the cake.
Thank you so much for your prompt attention to my order too. I will definitely be a returning customer.
