Welcome to Witney Loom

It's so easy to get just the right thickness of cover on your bed, not just for the coming season but for tonight's chill or expected heat, by simply peeling on or off a Witney Loom blanket. Create a layered fold at the foot of your bed with a blanket or two and slip it over or off as and when you wish.

A Witney Loom wool blanket lets your body breath as well as keep you warm because unlike down, feathers or cotton which get damp with persperation, our woven wool will not wick, but let the vapour escape.That's why astronauts and world class cyclists wear wool too.

There are just so many things that are better under a blanket - whether it is to instantly change the feel of a room, or spreading over your favorite chair and sofa, a cosy wrap for the car trip home, over your knees for the bus trip to the mountains, luxuriously softening the deck on your boat or sailing yacht or for chill proofing your bed. You can hang them on the walls for quieter warmer rooms, across the doors in winter to hold the draft, or simply throw on the ground for a picnic. They can be also be folded up and stored like treasure in a blanket chest, ready at the flick of the wrists.

We weave to three weights - light, medium and full weights of cloth, with fluffy "raised" or smooth cloth-like nap. So wrap yourself or a loved one in a warm smooth Witney Loom blanket - one of the greatest works of nature and man.

The Witney Loom blanket of today combines the best of the weaver's traditions and craft with the very best smooth and soft modern yarns of wool or cashmere. We still weave our blankets, interlacing warp and weft on rapier and shuttle looms - not needle felting - giving us a strong smooth yet supple cloth.

The blankets length ends are finished with looped thread, sometimes called a whip stitch, or blanket edge otherwise with twisted tassles, called pearled selvedge.

Along the side edges, we offer leno (fuzzy) or tuck in selvedge.
