A thick and heavy traceable British Wool travel rug in a rich 'crummock' green plaid tartan pattern.

Woven exclusively for Glencroft from Dalesbred fleeces collected from three farms within 10 miles of our warehouse in Clapham, Yorkshire Dales.

The Dalesbred is our local Yorkshire Dales breed on the fells of Ingleborough.

Each of our five different colours have been carefully woven with the same warp (vertical yarn) but a different weft (horizontal yarn) to achieve the most efficient production. Woven from seven colours of yarn - one undyed and six dyed.

Size is 55 x 70" (140 x 180cm) minus tassels.

Contains a blend of Dalesbred and Cheviot wool. We originally wanted a 100% Dalesbred tweed but we found the fibre of this mountain sheep breed would have been too thick on its own to go through the weaving machines. We therefore had to source a finer wool to blend it with.

Materials

Clapdale Wool - Woven: The wool in our woven blankets and Clapdale tweed cloth is sourced from our local Dalesbred sheep breed on 3 farms within 10 miles of Glencroft's Yorkshire Dales home, in the dale of 'Clapdale'. Our farmers are paid more for their wool than at auction and receive a share of the profits of every product sold. The wool is then processed, from farm to yarn, within just 50 miles of the sheep it comes from. Certified as Traceable British Wool.
