Previously known as The Tartan Blanket Company, which began life selling tartan blankets and scarves, it now goes by the abbreviated name, TBCo. You might also recognise it from Instagram, as it’s the brand behind the much-loved triangle scarfs adorning the necks of many people on the social media platform.
It’s one of a handful of companies making blankets from recycled wool – by doing so, it saves around six wool items from landfill. The waffle design of the woven threads gives this blanket a great texture that we think makes it stand out from most of the other classic wool blankets.
It’s not one of the thickest blankets on test but we found it kept us cosy on the sofa, and we also love that it can be personalised with embroidery initials. Best known for its sumptuous mattresses and bedding, Soak & Sleep has recently branched out into nightwear, homeware and soft furnishings. The brand’s wool blankets are actually from Tweedmill, a well-known wool blanket manufacturer that’s been going since 1971, with the blankets woven in Wales.
This duck egg number is a real classic design, with a wide herringbone pattern, contrasting cream fringing and a raising finish that instantly gives it a cosy feeling and a lofty texture. Priced at £65, it’s the most affordable pure wool blanket on our list. We think this is excellent value, especially considering it’s made in Britain. It also comes in lots of other colours, such as peach, sea green and a chunky stripe in earthy tones.
