The Brand: Melin Tregwynt, a small white washed woolen mill, can be found in a remote wooded valley on the Pembrokeshire (Wales) coast. There has been a mill on this site since the 17th century, when local farmers would bring their fleeces to be spun into yarn and woven into sturdy Welsh wool blankets. Owned by the same family since 1912, the Mill became an Employee Owned Trust in 2022, and the staff of 40+ now continue to make unique designs using traditional techniques. Each design, made in Welsh wool, is done on the computer and then made by hand in a small sample to confirm colors and details before it is run on the larger weaving machines. From there it is handcut, handsewn and then goes out the door. Each step of the process is looked after by a talented staff of pattern-makers, weavers, seamstresses who take great care in all they do.
Description: This design, Hen Llys, is inspired by a vintage tapestry blanket from the Melin Tregwynt archives. Since the company has been weaving since 1912 they have quite an archive from which to be inspired! Familiar and new at the same time, this blanket will be a favorite for generations.
Details: 50 x 78 inches, 100% welsh wool, medium weight, hemmed edge
A Note From Erika: This is a new pattern for us in the shop and I can’t decide which one I like the most. They are all so good!
