NEW RANGE Mourne Classic Sampler Blanket

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 Mourne Classic Sampler Blanket in Sky Blue beautifully captures the essence of a clear, serene sky over the Mourne Mountains. Crafted from an exquisite blend of undyed natural wool yarn, the blanket features soft boucle-spun wool that adds a delightful texture and warmth. Two soft shades of blue—echoing the varying tones of the sky—interweave seamlessly, showcasing pale grey hints and subtle flecks of moss green and royal blue. This intricate combination creates an overall shimmering effect that mirrors the gentle play of light on a calm day.

The varied shades and textures not only evoke the tranquil beauty of the landscape but also invite you to wrap yourself in the comfort and luxury of this timeless piece. Ideal for draping over a sofa or snuggling under on a cool evening, this blanket offers both elegance and warmth, making it a perfect addition to any home. Embrace the soothing hues of the Mourne Mountains and transform your space with this stunning Sky Blue blanket.
