Commemorative War Blankets
To commemorate the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, Knockando Woolmill is currently producing a range of commemorative blankets inspired by the original war blankets the Mill wove during the First and Second World War.
Military Blanket Order dated September 1917
Historically, the war blankets woven here at Knockando were a simple ecru design with a whipped edged finish. To commemorate the Mill has recreated a simple British wool twill blanket with a distinct stripe consisting of 80 threads to mark 80 years since the end of the war.
Keep an eye out in the weeks to come for the official launch of the blankets coming soon!
