Welsh Blankets - Woven in Wales - Welsh Woollen Blankets

All TirGlas Welsh blankets are woven at mills in Wales.

• What makes a Welsh Blanket unique? The unique feature is the double cloth weaving technique used for many of our most iconic designs, often referred to as Welsh tapestry blankets.

It not as easy as saying, larger items are blankets and smaller ones throws - some of our throws are larger than our blankets! If there is one 'definition', blankets tend to be thicker and more sumptuous whereas as throws tend to have finer weaving and can be more decorative. The long and short of it - there is no hard and fast rule or definition!!!
