Lovely 1950s Welsh blanket in pale duck egg greeny blue aqua, pink & off- white cream. Herringbone double plaid check design with a darker stripe running through. Measures 72 inches x 90 inches. Good condition.
These Carmarthenshire double plaid blankets were made in 3 mills in the Gwili Valley. Sadly all now lost. These were the everyday utility blankets back in the days before duvets & they would have been sold, originally by horse & cart, all around the South Wales Valleys including The Rhondda & all the local Markets such as Cardigan, Carmarthen, Neath, Llanelli, Cardiff, Swansea, Pontypridd, Pontypool, Newport & Abergavenny.
Can be purchased/viewed or collected in my shop in Abergavenny Market where I have a large collection of vintage & new blankets, coats, capes, purses & accessories
