Mourne Classic Large Throw

RRP - £240

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 Walnut Mourne Classic blanket is a rich, earthy celebration of natural tones, inspired by the rugged Mourne landscape. 

The main yarn is a warm, soft brown, reminiscent of the forest floor in autumn, with flecks of deep orange, sand, and dark brown weaving through it, adding depth and texture. Hints of grey evoke the Mourne granite, grounding the palette in nature’s neutral tones. 

Contrasted with a lighter, natural yarn in the warp, this combination creates a harmonious balance, offering a nod to the subtle contrasts found in the Mourne countryside. 

The result is a blanket that feels like a walk through autumnal woodland, full of warmth and rich, organic beauty. Perfect for adding a touch of timeless, natural charm to your home.
