Mourne Classic Large Throw - Granite

First woven in the 1980s, the Mourne Classic blanket showcases the enduring appeal of traditional craftsmanship, brought to life in a lightweight tweed fabric. Inspired by the rugged beauty of the Mourne landscape, this iconic design features a palette of soft blues, greens, apricots, and golds—reminiscent of the natural hues found in bawneen wool, historically used in fishermen’s and labourers' waistcoats.

The texture of the Mourne Classic fabric is achieved through a unique combination of yarn weights, unevenly threaded through the warp, which creates a tactile, textured surface that feels rich and warm to the touch. Designer Gerd Hay-Edie likened the fabric’s rhythm and tonal shifts to the ebb and flow of the tide—capturing the essence of the ever-changing Mourne Mountains and coastline.

Whether draped over a sofa or layered at the foot of a bed, the Mourne Classic blanket offers a sophisticated yet timeless touch to your home. Its soft, durable wool blend makes it ideal for year-round comfort, and the lightweight nature ensures it’s versatile enough for any season. A perfect heirloom piece, this blanket is designed to be cherished for generations.

The Mourne Classic Granite blanket beautifully reflects the rugged charm of the Mourne Mountains, with a carefully curated blend of natural tones. The primary yarn, a soft, warm natural colour, serves as a gentle backdrop to the standout mottled grey and brown yarn, which is interspersed with flecks of black and warmer brown hues. This sophisticated combination creates an earthy palette reminiscent of the weathered granite stones that dot the landscape, evoking a sense of serenity and timeless elegance.

The intricate weaving technique enhances the depth and texture of the fabric, making it perfect for draping over a bed or sofa, providing warmth and style. The Mourne Classic Granite blanket is not only a statement piece for your home but also a celebration of the natural beauty found in the heart of the Mourne Mountains. Crafted from high-quality materials, it promises to be a cherished addition to your collection, embodying the essence of craftsmanship and heritage.
