John Atkinson Blankets

Welcome to our John Atkinson Blankets department. We are proud to be the largest single web retailer of Atkinson's celebrated blankets.
A W Hainsworth has been making blankets in Bradford, England since 1828 and has owned the John Atkinson brand for many years. Hainsworth's is the very last full vertical mill producing full-size bed blankets in the UK. They buy the raw wool in bales "greasy" and manage every single process in-house, from scouring and cleaning the wool to weaving and finishing the end product. They do not outsource any of the processes. This is very efficient and ensures that there is excellent control on quality and sustainability at every stage of the process.
Hainsworth still makes the traditional woven blankets that you remember from childhood (if you are of a certain age), the ones that last for generations, literally. They provide superb thermal properties, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer.
Their quintessentially British, satin bound Merino blanket - 'The Duchess' is available in six colours and in 4 UK bed sizes or their 'Atkincell' pure new wool cellular blanket, which is superb for layering. Today the John Atkinson brand enjoys a worldwide reputation for quality, style, and performance: a reputation that owes much to generations of weaving expertise, together with an uncompromising commitment to using only the finest natural fibres: 100% cashmere, soft Merino wool, and pure new wool.
