NEW RANGE Mourne Classic Sampler Blanket - Oatmeal

These blankets are part of a special sample run created during our design process, with some colour-ways available in limited runs, while others may be introduced into our permanent collection. First produced in the 1980s, Mourne Classic is a lightweight tweed fabric celebrated for its distinctive balance and texture. 

Crafted from soft wool, this material adds warmth and provides a luxurious drape, making it an ideal choice for various applications. The warp, made from a mix of yarn weights unevenly threaded, gives the fabric a unique rhythm that Gerd Hay-Edie likened to the oscillations of the tide, reflecting the ebb and flow in texture and tone.

Originally designed as curtaining material, Mourne Classic's soft texture allows light to gently filter through its light weave and muted colour palette. The fabric’s graceful drape and flow, combined with its softness and durability, make it equally suited for couture applications and the creation of our exquisite blankets.

This collection showcases a carefully curated palette of hues, with certain colours destined to become permanent staples, highlighting the fabric's exceptional craftsmanship. In 1984, the Mourne Classic range was chosen by the London Design Centre for their Design Selection Awards, cementing its reputation as a timeless, versatile, and highly sought-after choice for designers.

The oatmeal colourway of this Classic blanket captures the essence of the serene Irish landscape, evoking the gentle hues of rolling fields and sun-drenched meadows. This warm, creamy shade is reminiscent of freshly harvested grains, bringing a touch of rustic charm that seamlessly integrates into any decor. The soft, neutral tones mirror the natural beauty of the countryside, inviting a sense of calm and comfort into your home.

Complementing this is a band of soft earth brown yarn, flecked with mid-greys, subtle dark brown and golden highlights of sand and yellow, reminiscent of leaves falling on the forest floor.

The subtle interplay of light and shadow in this shade enhances its warmth, while gentle variations in tone create a nuanced depth reminiscent of the landscape at dawn. This versatile colourway pairs beautifully with both bold and muted palettes, making it an ideal accent piece in any room. 

Whether used for snuggling on a cold evening or adding a touch of sophistication to your home decor, the oatmeal blanket brings the comforting essence of the countryside into your space.
