The John Atkinson lambswool cashmere blanket is warm, soft, and light, with the luxurious feel of cashmere, elegantly bound on all sides in a traditional wide satin trim.
This blanket has the beautifully soft feeling of a pure cashmere blanket but is considerably less expensive than the John Atkinson Pure Cashmere Blanket.
Available in two colours: Winter white and champagne. The 'winter white' blanket is woven using natural unbleached white wool, so is a light cream colour, rather than bright brilliant white.
We are John Atkinson's largest online retailer and, unlike most online stores, keep these lovely blankets in stock for immediate dispatch.

Product Care
The manufacturer advises Professional Clean only.
Many of our customers carefully hand or machine wash their Cashmere Blend blankets on a cool wool setting at 30℃ using wool-approved detergent, with no spin allow to dry naturally.
Do not tumble dry.
There will always be some shrinkage after washing (usually up to around 6%)
N.B. Never use your regular laundry detergent on wool; even "gentle", or non-bio detergents usually contain bleach, which will ruin it.
Origin & Sustainability
Made in England by John Atkinson in Yorkshire. Lambswool is from Australian and New Zealand sheep.
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.
