Why Choose Dinefwr Blankets?

Natural Warmth & Comfort

Wool is nature’s own insulator—keeping you warm in winter, cool in summer, and always breathable. Each Dinefwr Blanket offers gentle warmth and balance, wrapping you in comfort that feels right in every season.

Sustainable by Nature

Wool is one of the earth’s most renewable resources—biodegradable, natural, and endlessly replenished by the seasons. Every Dinefwr Blanket is woven with this in mind, carrying forward our commitment to craft that treads lightly on the land while honouring heritage.

Durability That Lasts Generations

At Dinefwr Blankets, we believe in creating pieces that last a lifetime and beyond. Crafted from pure wool, our blankets are naturally strong, resistant to everyday wear, and free from the fragility of synthetics. Fire-resistant, dust-mite repellent, and beautifully timeless, they’re made to be cherished in your home, treasured in your cottage, and passed down as heirlooms for generations.

How to Care for Your Wool Blanket

Dinefwr Blankets are made to last. With a little care, it will soften and age beautifully over the years. Our blankets aren’t fragile – they’re made to be used, loved, and handed down. The better you care for them, the longer they’ll remain part of your story.

  • Wool loves fresh air. Hang your blanket outside on a dry day to refresh it naturally.

  • Spot clean when needed using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid harsh rubbing.

  • For occasional deeper cleaning at home, gently hand wash in cool water (30°C max) with a wool-safe detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Squeeze — don’t wring — and reshape while damp.

  • Dry flat, away from direct heat or sunlight.

  • Alternatively, dry clean professionally or use a specialist wool service.

  • Avoid tumble drying and machine agitation, which can shrink or felt the wool.

  • When not in use, store in a cool, dry place — ideally wrapped in breathable cotton, with a sprig of lavender or a block of cedar to keep it fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Are wool blankets itchy?

Wool can sometimes be associated with being itchy, but not all wool is the same. The softness depends on the fibre thickness (micron count) and the way it’s woven. Coarser wool can feel scratchy against bare skin, while finer, softer fibres feel much smoother and more comfortable.

 

2. How can I wash my woollen blanket?

We recommend gentle care to preserve the quality of your blanket. For small marks, simply spot clean with cool water and a mild wool detergent. To freshen, shake out regularly and air your blanket outdoors. If a deeper clean is needed, we advise consulting your professional dry cleaner or a specialist wool wash on a very gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid hot washes, bleach, or tumble drying, as these can shrink or damage the wool. With the right care, your blanket will last for generations.

 

3. Do wool blankets work year-round?

Yes. Wool regulates body temperature, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer.

4. What makes Dinefwr wool blankets unique?

Every Dinefwr Blanket is rooted in centuries of Welsh weaving heritage and crafted with care in our Llandeilo workshop. We weave using 100% wool. Our aim is to preserve the Welsh Blanket patterns, with new colourways for modern homes, creating pieces that are both timeless and contemporary. Naturally warm, breathable each blanket carries the authenticity of heritage craft—made to be treasured and passed down for generations

5. Why are Welsh blankets so expensive?

A Welsh blanket is more than just a blanket or a throw—it’s a piece of heritage. Each one is woven using 100% wool, a natural and sustainable fibre that is more costly than synthetics. The process is slow and skilled, often involving traditional looms, careful hand-finishing, and generations of knowledge in weaving. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, these blankets are made in small batches with care, ensuring quality, durability, and authenticity. When you buy a Welsh blanket, you’re investing in something that will last for decades, support local farmers and craftspeople, and carry forward a tradition unique to Wales.
