Skill, beauty and heritage in these beautiful Welsh Blankets.

Thank you for sending these 2 Welsh Blankets all the way to Australia. They arrived well packed and come in a fabric bag for protection.

Now the blankets, what can I say ? they are just beautiful they are heavy enough for our Winters in Melbourne and light enough for me to pull up on our warm summer nights if there is a chill in the air.

The patterns and skill in making these blankets is amazing. I am very proud to have these blankets as it allows me to be reminded of my Welsh heritage and keep me comfortable and warm.
