Blanket
Welsh lady pattern blanket woven at Melin Tregwyn. 'Cofion Becca' design by Sophia Watts (Head of Textile Design and Sustainability Co-ordinator at Melin Tregwynt). The design was launched on 1st March 2019 for St. David’s Day. The colour name ‘Becca’ was chosen after the Rebecca Riots, celebrating the imposing grandeur of traditional Welsh dress and, in turn, powerful Welsh women.
Maroon on cream, tapestry weave. Narrow double turn backs along all four edges, fixed with double row of machine stitches using cream thread.
