Commemorative War Blankets

 80 YEARS, 80 THREADS – BLANKETS WOVEN WITH HISTORY

Knockando Woolmill marks VE Day anniversary with limited-edition commemorative war blankets – a fitting tribute to the past, woven for the present

To mark 80 years since VE Day, Scotland’s most historic working woolmill, Knockando Woolmill in Speyside, has gone back to its roots – and its looms – to weave a tribute to the past that’s as practical as it is poignant.

Inspired by the original war blankets produced at the Mill during the First and Second World Wars, the new collection of limited-edition commemorative blankets is made from 100% British wool and features a bold woven stripe made up of exactly 80 threads – symbolising 80 years since the end of the war.
