The story behind the cloth
Thirlmere,in every thread.
Inspired by the gentle rhythm of falling water droplets, our Thirlmere throw celebrates the landscape and history of this beautiful Lake District valley.
Originally a series of natural lakes, Thirlmere was transformed into a reservoir during the Victorian era to supply water to the growing city of Manchester. Today, its upland waters continue to connect the Lake District fells with the city, reflecting the relationship between landscape, people and industry.
Created by the Lancs & Lakes Guild of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers, the repeating pattern takes inspiration from falling water, capturing its movement and rhythm in woven cloth.
The wool comes from the Chaplin-Bryce family's flock of rare and traditional sheep breeds, blended with Herdwick wool from Bobsy Tyson. Together, these fleeces create a distinctive throw, rich in texture and natural character.
Woven from 100% British wool, our Thirlmere throw is naturally warm, breathable and durable. Perfect for curling up on the sofa, draping over a bed or bringing a little of the Lake District landscape into your home. Designed and made in the North West of England.
From fleece to finished throw, every stage of processing takes place within 100 miles of the farms, supporting British farmers and our regional textile industry.
