Wool by its very nature does not need to be washed as often as other fibres. It is naturally breathable which allows any moisture it may pick up to vanish. The less you expose your item to washing the longer the lifespan! For gentle refresh why not utilise the traditional Irish ‘good drying’ day and let the fresh air breathe new life into your item.

We do not recommend machine or hand washing your wool item at all as any emersion into water no matter how cool will result in shrinkage. The safest way to wash any wool textile is to have it dry-cleaned.

100% Lambswool, Dimensions: 140cm x 180cm.

 

In July 1922, Foxford Woollen Mills presented a specially commissioned Travel Blanket to General Michael Collins to mark his appointment to Commander in Chief of the newly established Irish Army.  The blanket was in his armoured car at the ambush at Béal Na Bláth in August 1922.  It was recovered at Shanakiel Hospital by Nurse Nora O’Donaghue and later donated to the National Museum.

Foxford Woollen Mills have reproduced the blanket in conjunction with the Michael Collins House, Clonakilty, Co. Cork.

The blanket is in olive, gold and white in a Melange yarn, using a traditional Foxford check.  A vintage 4 ply yarn was used for the weaving similar to the quality wool used in the early part of the last century resulting in a very warm sturdy blanket.
