Trend Alert: The Return of the Patterned Wool Blanket

by Published: January 22, 2019

Lately we’ve been pleased to note the return of an old-school staple: hardy wool blankets, the sort an English grandmother would have on every bed, back from the blanket chest. In hues of olive, rust, and black, and a variety of tartans, checks, and traditional Welsh patterns, they suit cottages and streamlined interiors alike. Take a look at a few favorite sightings.
