McKellar Tartan Pure New Wool Knee Blanket – Soft, Natural Scottish Style

Quietly beautiful and wonderfully easy to live with, our McKellar Tartan Pure New Wool Knee Blanket combines the warmth of pure wool with a soft, understated tartan that feels at home in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Woven in a gentle palette of soft grey, warm oatmeal, natural beige and earthy brown, the check has all the character of a traditional tartan without dominating a room. The colours bring to mind stone walls, winter skies, weathered wood and the muted shades of the Scottish countryside, making this an especially lovely choice if you prefer calm, natural interiors.

Made from 100% pure new wool, the McKellar is naturally warm and insulating while remaining breathable. Its 70cm x 183cm proportions are ideal for keeping across the back of an armchair, pulling over your knees while reading or wrapping around your shoulders when the evening turns chilly.

This smaller size also makes a brilliant blanket to keep in the car. Take it on long journeys, weekends away or days in the countryside, tuck it into a campervan or caravan and bring it outside when you want to sit for just a little longer as the temperature drops.

Finished with a generous twisted fringe, it is practical enough to be used every day but handsome enough to become part of the room.

Styling Tip / Pairs Well With

McKellar is particularly good for the modern country interior. Try it against oatmeal linen, warm grey upholstery, leather, oak or painted furniture. Its neutral colouring introduces pattern and texture without overwhelming other furnishings. It also matches perfectly with the McKellar Tartan Waterproof Backed Picnic Blanket.

FAQs

Where are the blankets made?

We are proud to say that all of our blankets are 100% British, being woven in traditional textile mills in all four home nations.

Every piece is crafted using time-honoured techniques by skilled makers and thoughtfully designed to blend beauty, heritage, and everyday comfort.

Can I order a blanket as a gift to be sent to the recipient direct?

Absolutely, we can send your chosen blanket directly to the recipient — simply enter their name, address and your gift message at checkout.

To make it extra special, you can add our luxury gift wrap option: your blanket will arrive in a white gift box, wrapped in tissue and ribbon, with a handwritten card — perfect for birthdays, weddings, or just-because moments.

Are the blankets sustainably made?

Yes — sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. All of our blankets are crafted in the UK using 100% natural wool, a renewable, biodegradable fibre. Most of our collection is made from mono-material yarns, which simplifies recycling and supports a circular approach to home textiles.

We’re also proud to offer a Recycled Wool Collection, made by re-weaving surplus and leftover yarns that would otherwise go to landfill. These blankets are not only eco-conscious, but full of character — each one is unique.

We work exclusively with mills that prioritise ethical sourcing and animal welfare, ensuring our blankets are as kind to the planet as they are to people.

Are they made from natural materials?

They are indeed — all of our blankets are made from wool, a natural and renewable material. Unlike synthetic fibres, wool is fully biodegradable and won’t release plastic microfibres into the environment.

We choose mono-material yarns wherever possible, meaning our blankets contain just one fibre type. This makes them not only gentler on the planet, but also easier to recycle at the end of their life.

Do you delivery internationally?

Yes, we’re delighted to welcome international customers — it means so much to us that our blankets are loved around the world.

International shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on destination and weight. Wherever possible, we use your country’s trusted national postal service to ensure safe and reliable delivery.

We always aim to keep shipping costs fair and transparent, if you have any questions before ordering, we’re just a message away. Whether it’s a gift for a loved one or a treat for yourself, we’ll make sure your blanket arrives beautifully wrapped and ready to enjoy — no matter where you are.
