You can buy blankets anywhere and in the majority of cases, these will be machine made. What makes Just Wool Textiles different is the grade of British wool is chosen for its natural softness and quality, sourced from farmers both here in the United Kingdom and the British Falkland Islands. Dyes are mixed by hand, the wool being dyed in small batches on the stove, a real hands-on creative process.
Once washed in a specialist solution and hung to dry, it is handwoven. I am self-taught and getting the tension right when hand-weaving takes time and practice, but the resulting fabric is a labour of time, love and in the case of a Cosy Blanket, about four hours weaving. I take pride in the work I do, even down to ensuring they are wrapped to delight the recipient, and my aim is to create quality pieces that are within reach of everyone, but unique to the owner
