The John Atkinson lambswool and cashmere blanket combines warmth, softness and lightness with the luxurious feel of cashmere. Beautifully finished with a traditional wide satin binding on all sides, it’s a timeless addition to your home.
Woven in Britain from a fine blend of lambswool and cashmere, this blanket offers the gentle warmth of wool with an exquisitely smooth touch, while remaining lightweight at 215 GSM. Available in two elegant shades — Winter White and Champagne — the Winter White colourway is woven from natural, unbleached wool, resulting in a soft, creamy tone rather than a bright white finish.
A classic design crafted to bring lasting comfort and quiet luxury to your bedroom all year round.

Product Care
The manufacturer advises professional clean only.
Many of our customers carefully hand or machine wash their wool blankets on a cool wool setting at up to 30℃ using wool-approved detergent. Do not spin.
Allow them to dry naturally. Do not tumble dry.
N.B. Never use your regular laundry detergent on wool; even "gentle" or non-bio detergents usually contain bleach, which will ruin it.
There will always be some shrinkage after washing (usually up to around 6%).
Origin & Sustainability
Made in England by John Atkinson, in Bradford. The lambswool is sourced from Australian and New Zealand sheep.
Bradford, Yorkshire, is the traditional wool capital of England. John Atkinson blankets are woven in one of the last remaining traditional wool mills in the county.
As well as a beautifully soft and silky feel, cashmere has superior insulating properties. It is said to be up to 8 times more insulating than sheep’s wool, keeping you cosy and warm but at a much lighter weight. Cashmere is moisture-wicking and breathable, with temperature-regulating properties, meaning that your cashmere blend blanket can be used all year round.
Sustainable – wool is a natural and fully sustainable fibre from a renewable source. Wool is nature’s technical wonder fibre and has many inherent qualities that can't be reproduced by manmade fibres. These inherent qualities make wool the natural choice for a good night's sleep.
Comfort – wool is comfortable due to its unique spring-like fibre structure. The natural crimp offers excellent support for all, as well as relief from bed sores and numerous other medical conditions.
Micro-climate control – wool regulates your body temperature, actively keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. Maintaining a steady temperature also leads to a more restful sleep.
Air quality – wool fibres absorb and hold on to indoor pollutants, improving the air quality around you while you sleep.
Anti-microbial – wool blankets are naturally anti-microbial due to the fibre protein composition and unique surface scale structure on which bacteria are unable to survive.
Odour control – the moisture absorbing properties of wool absorb sweat from the skin and halt the generation of odour-causing bacteria, keeping your bedding fresher for longer.
Natural flame resistance – wool is naturally flame-resistant and self-extinguishing and doesn't melt, making for safer sleep and one of the few fibres that don't need coating in artificial flame-resistant chemicals.
Dirt repellent – the antistatic nature of wool reduces the attraction of lint and dust, and the microscopic surface scales prevent dirt from penetrating the fibre surface.
Asthma-friendly – dust mites are a key trigger for Asthma attacks; they cannot survive on wool, making it a perfect choice for asthma sufferers.
