This king-size pure wool blanket begins with yarn from our Devon Closewool sheep, which is sent to Yorkshire where it's woven with other British wools in the distinctive colours that celebrate the natural transformation of Herdwick wool throughout the sheep's lifetime. \u003c\/span\u003eThe careful processing enhances the natural qualities of British wool while creating colour combinations that complement both modern and traditional interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"benefits-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"benefit-block\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003eHerdwick Colour Journey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003eHerdwick sheep undergo a fascinating natural colour transformation throughout their lives. When Herdwick lambs are born, they have a jet-black coat. As they grow, this coat gradually lightens through several stages:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col class=\"[\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-decimal space-y-1.5 pl-7\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eWithin the first year, they lose the black face and legs, the face gradually goes white, you can get some that look like they are wearing a mask as the colour changes (think Mask of Zorro!) and the black wool on the body begins to fade to a dark chocolate brown colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eBy the time they reach 2-3 years of age, the wool continues lightening to a grey or \"hoar frost\" colour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\"\u003eAdult Herdwick sheep (around 4 years old) ultimately develop a light silver-grey fleece, though the head and legs remain white.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003eThis natural colour change is genetic and unique to the Herdwick breed. It's this distinctive transformation that has directly inspired the colouring of our blanket, allowing us to celebrate the natural beauty of the Herdwick's life journey in each throw. The subtle gradations of colour in our blanket reflect the changing wool colours throughout the sheep's lifetime, creating depth and interest while maintaining an authentic connection to the sheep themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"benefit-block\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExceptional Warmth Without Weight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePure wool produces naturally insulating fibres that retain heat while allowing airflow, creating a blanket that keeps you warm without feeling heavy or restrictive.

Our wool travels from our Salcombe farm to Yorkshire's historical mills, where it undergoes worsted spinning. This technique combs the fibres to ensure perfect alignment, creating stronger, finer yarn that's Z-spun and S-twisted. The finished yarn then goes to Bristol where master weavers create each blanket on traditional looms, maintaining complete British production that supports local expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003eSustainable Heritage Built for Generations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\"\u003eOur Herdwick sheep are a traditional British breed suited to our local landscape. By raising this heritage breed we support agricultural biodiversity while creating superior blankets with excellent insulation properties and durability. The Herdwick breed has proven its durability through a century of use in challenging weather. Our careful processing preserves the wool's natural strength, while expert weaving creates a dense, hard-wearing structure. The result is a blanket that maintains its shape, warmth and character through years of daily use, actually improving with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifications\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150cm x 200cm (King Size)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDry Clean Only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop \u0026amp; Bottom Fringe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5 inch purled fringe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide Fringe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicro leno fringe (100% Tencel white thread)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeft Yarn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\/9.3nm Shepley weft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarp Yarn\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/15nm Devon Closewool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeave Density\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 EPI\/ 16 PPI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStructure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUndulating twill structure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n  .product-description {\n    max-width: 100%;\n    margin: 0;\n    padding: 0;\n  }\n  \n  .intro {\n    margin-bottom: 2rem;\n  }\n  \n  .intro p {\n    line-height: 1.6;\n    margin: 0;\n    padding: 0;\n  }\n  \n  .benefits-section {\n    margin-bottom: 2rem;\n    padding: 0;\n  }\n  \n  .benefit-block {\n    margin-bottom: 1.5rem;\n    padding: 0;\n  }\n  \n  .benefit-block h2 {\n    font-weight: 600;\n    margin-bottom: 0.5rem;\n    padding: 0;\n  }\n  \n  .benefit-block p {\n    line-height: 1.5;\n    margin: 0;\n    padding: 0;\n  }\n  \n  .specifications h2 {\n    font-weight: 600;\n    margin-bottom: 1rem;\n    padding: 0;\n  }\n  \n  .specifications table {\n    width: 100%;\n    border-collapse: collapse;\n    margin: 0;\n    padding: 0;\n  }\n  \n  .specifications table td {\n    padding: 0.7rem;\n    border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\n  }\n  \n  .specifications table td:first-child {\n    width: 30%;\n  }\n\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"Farmer \u0026 Weaver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46330711081195,"sku":"BB3-herdwick-ombre","price":195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1426\/2763\/files\/herdwick_main.jpg?v=1744021429","url":"https:\/\/salcombewoolcompany.com\/products\/pure-british-wool-blanket-throw-herdwick-ombre","provider":"Salcombe Wool Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
