About Solway Blankets
Where Tradition Meets Modern Elegance...
Solway Blankets was born out of a deep love for British craftsmanship, sustainability and family values....
After moving from East Leicestershire to Dumfries and Galloway, establishing a farm and getting married, I received a truly special gift - a beautifully soft, handcrafted baby blanket to celebrate the birth of my son.
When a close friend became a new mum, I wanted to gift her something equally special, a British-made baby blanket that carried the same warmth, meaning and heritage. However, I quickly discovered how difficult it was to find one, many of Britain’s once-thriving textile mills had been forced to close due to cheaper imports from abroad, leaving highly skilled craftspeople out of work and historic mills abandoned.
Determined to make a difference, I set out on a mission...
To support British textile heritage, provide beautifully crafted, natural fibre blankets that honour tradition while fitting seamlessly into modern homes.
This vision gave rise to Solway Blankets, where traditional weaving techniques meet contemporary design, creating timeless pieces that celebrate the finest in British craftsmanship, sustainability and quality.
