Beautiful Wool Throws for Christmas: a Gift guide

November 22, 2019 Tags: , , , , , No Comments

With the festive season getting closer you might be starting to think about buying gifts and getting a head start with your Christmas shopping. As the weather turns chilly and everyone feels like hunkering down indoors, a wool throw or blanket makes the ideal present. So we’ve got a wool throw gift guide to help you choose the perfect one.

For the time-poor mother

Busy mums often find it hard to make time to relax. Give a hardworking mother a supersoft, irresistibly snug wool throw for Christmas and encourage her to slow down a bit. She’ll love getting cosy under this 100% wool blanket, crafted from pure, long-wearing wool and featuring a subtle, timeless tartan pattern. It’s available in a range of colours too, so you can find the perfect match for her home interior.


For the outdoorsy sister

If you’ve got an adventure-loving sister who likes nothing better than camping under the stars or hiking up in the mountains, this alpaca throw is a great choice. Soft to touch but durable enough to withstand being stuffed in a backpack for an outdoor trip, it’s crafted from a blend of warm wool and gentle alpaca. And it will last for years, making memories alongside her as she explores the great outdoors.

For your garden-loving dad

If your dad likes nothing better than getting his hands dirty pulling weeds and potting on seedlings, a wool throw might be just what he needs. Perfect for keeping warm in his shed or on a coffee break outside. It will also double as a picnic rug in summer, so he can prepare a feast of homegrown bounty to share. This one is in a beautiful mossy green – just right for a green-fingered garden fanatic.

For your best friend

What could be nicer than giving your best friend a gift she can wear for months each year? Something that keeps her warm and cosy, and makes her feel cherished. Something that reminds her of the support of her dear friends who know exactly what colours she like to wear and what suits her best. The answer: a luxurious wool scarf.

For the man in your life

A thoughtful gift is a great way to let someone know you love them. Treat the man in your life to a sumptuous, supersoft cashmere throw that you can cuddle up under together. Whether bingeing on your favourite box set or cosying up in bed, add another layer to your relationship.

And if you’d also like to send warmth to a stranger in need, you can get involved in a UNHCR initiative in collaboration with Kniterate. This British start-up are working alongside the charity and Twitter to generate funds and publicity by offering to weave 500 names into scarves that they will distribute to refugees in North Africa. These people face extreme winter weather and have inadequate housing and clothing. Find out more about knitting for refugees here.

Your Ultimate Wool Throw Gift Guide

November 13, 2018 Tags: , , , , , , , , No Comments

If you’re trying to get ahead of the game and make a start with your Christmas gift buying, here’s our ultimate gift guide. We can help you choose the perfect wool throw for your family members or friends, and give them a gift they can enjoy for years to come. In fact, we can’t think of many better things to give at Christmas than a soft, snuggly blanket crafted from the finest materials that will keep your loved ones feeling cozy and pampered. A new wool throw will become part of their own Christmas and wintertime traditions, from curling up under it to watch a holiday movie, to tucking in an excited child who has just hung up their stocking for Santa.

So, here’s what we’re putting on our present-buying list this year:

For Mum

Busy mothers can find they’ve barely stopped all day. From the pressures of work to the demands of small children, this time of year can be even more exhausting than normal. Even mums of grown-up kids can still find it hard to properly unwind. Give a mother in your life the gift of a peaceful, precious, moment of relaxation with this supersoft throw. Encourage them to take time out for themselves with a book or a podcast, tucked up and cared for, instead of doing all the caring.

For a mother who loves being in Nature a wool throw is a great present. They can lie back on it and watch the clouds or spread out a picnic feast for friends in the park. It will keep them warm on chilly evenings round a campfire, and can provide an impromptu sleeping blanket for a slumbering babe.

For Dad

For dads who like to hunker down with their kids reading stories, a wool throw will not only keep them all snug, it can double as a fort if attention wanders.

For the traveller

For the travel-loving, active person in your life a trusty wool throw can be packed up in their bag of essential kit and will double as a picnic blanket, shawl and extra bedding if they’re sleeping out under the stars. Whether bundled into a backpack or rolled up in a tote, every adventurer needs this versatile piece of kit. And not only are our throws practical and hard-wearing, they’re great-looking too.

For the interior design fan

A beautiful mohair wool throw can instantly refresh the look of a bedroom or sitting room. Draped, tucked or folded, this is the ideal gift for someone with their finger on the design pulse.

For someone who is all of these

Really, most of us love to surround ourselves with beautiful things made from the best, natural, materials. We want to feel loved, safe and sheltered, as well as to protect those around us. Sometimes we feel like hibernating and other times we crave adventure. A Woolme wool throw can do all of this, whatever mood we’re in and whatever life brings us in that moment. Which makes it pretty much the perfect gift for everybody, no?

Sort Your Holiday Shopping with our Gift Guide

November 28, 2017 Tags: , , , No Comments

If you are beginning to think about (or panic about) buying your Christmas or Holiday season gifts, we’ve got just the thing. Here is our simple guide to the perfect present: a woollen throw. Whether you are shopping for your mother or your teenage son, we’ll show you why one of our throws will make a great gift.

All our throws are made from top quality wool, which means they look and feel luxurious, and perfectly treat-y. They will last for years, keeping your loved one cosy and warm for many more seasons to come, which makes a wool throw a great alternative to disposable items with no longevity.

For a parent

Finding the right gift for a parent can be tricky. But whatever their age or stage in life, they will appreciate something sumptuous for their home, and something that will also keep them warm during the colder months. For a dad who likes to go fishing or camping, or putting his feet up in front of the game on a Sunday afternoon, our Luigi throw is a great choice. Made from a soft blend of wool and alpaca fibres, it has a timelessly classic plaid pattern that echoes nostalgic tartan rugs and country living. Or treat your mum to one of these exquisite cashmere Everest throws in an elegant herringbone weave. Perfect for snuggling up on the sofa, draping over shoulders or legs on cool summer evenings outside, or bringing along on picnics with friends.

For a teenager

If your teen has left home and started college, a decent wool throw is a brilliantly versatile gift. They can sling it over their beds for some extra winter warmth without having to splurge on heating bills, or take it to festivals in the summer where it can double as a nighttime blanket and rug for lounging on in the sunshine. Wool needs less washing than other fabrics, so this is a good low-maintenance present for teenagers who may spend more time socialising than doing the laundry. Choose something neutral that will work with whatever room they move to, like one of these supersoft Paula wool throws in grey stripes.

For a grandparent

Tuck your grandparent up safe in the knowledge that a wool throw will help regulate their body temperature. Older people can often feel chills even on milder days, so having a cosy blanket handy is always useful. Go for something classic and simple, like our plait-designed merino Alessandra throw, or add a splash of colour to their day with something bold and patterned.

For a partner

Gift the man in your life a gorgeous baby alpaca wool throw to snuggle up under with a glass of wine and a box set. Quiet time spent together can be hard to find amidst the busyness of life, but you can show how much you value cosy, simple moments with a present like this charcoal Bella throw. For her, how about a super-fine, luxurious cashmere throw? Choose a muted tone or natural colour to make sure it works with a range of bedlinen or sofa cushions.

There you have it, holiday gifts all wrapped up. No stress, no fuss and for many years of pleasure. Happy shopping!
