Choose Your Own Adventure – The Woven Quilt

Happiness is a warm blanket, Charlie Brown.

And we’d agree.

For many of us, there’s a memory tied to a childhood blanket. Perhaps it comes in the scent of something floral and familiar; a mother’s perfume. Or a visit from your grandmother who snuck in Wine Gums after teeth brushing, and pulled up the covers to snuggle in and tell a whispered fairytale.

Whether warm, woolley, patterned or plush, chances are you had a treasured childhood blanket. One never quite far from sight, that brought with it all the promise of a pre-bed storybook, or a mother’s love.

The Woven Quilt is just the kind to inspire this sort of nostalgic reverie. A blanket that’s at once keepsake and contemporary. A one-of-a-kind, hand-me-down piece that adds a kind of magic to couch cuddles or bedtime rituals. That becomes the treasured stede on flights of fancy, or days spent building a fort – the kind where a blanket simply strung between two chairs becomes a fortress for the dragon slayer, roving soldier or castle-bound princess.

Plummy purples, pumpkin oranges, soft corals and bright blues ripple through the Woven Quilt – a kaleidoscopic palette fit for a roaming imagination – the colours of a fairground, a table of birthday cupcakes, a cauldron bubbling with a witch’s brew or perhaps a tidal pool, replete with prickly purple urchins and slow-moving starfish. It’s a bag-of-sweets type palette. A glass jar of jelly beans. A choose-your-own adventure kind of blanket.

The Woven Quilt features a cobble weave design – a textural, playful design that puts a spin on the classic waffle weave, and that adds warmth by trapping in hot air with its pocket-like nooks. It’s woven with pure cotton – a natural fibre loved for its soft drape, hypoallergenic properties, breathability and longevity – meaning your Woven Quilt will see you through the seasons, and the years.

But that’s not all.

We like to think that this quilt is dual purpose. By marrying all the finesse of a well-designed blanket, with its playful palette and supple handle for snuggling, it’s a blanket that’s fit for young and old alike. One that easily lends itself to TV binges and couch cuddles, and that works wonders as a striking sofa throw, knee blanket or end-of-bed addition. The possibilities abound.

If happiness is a warm blanket, then here’s this one hits the mark.
