Shetland Wool Blankets — FAQs
What makes Katrina Hampton Shetland wool blankets special?
Katrina Hampton Shetland wool blankets are woven from high-quality Shetland wool in the heart of Yorkshire, giving them a naturally warm, breathable and hard-wearing finish. The collection combines traditional weaving expertise with a refined herringbone design for a classic yet contemporary look.
What designs and colours are available in the Shetland wool range?
The Shetland wool blankets come in a curated palette of herringbone designs, including shades like Cinnamon, Flint, Heather, Limestone, Moonlight and Sage. These colours are chosen to coordinate easily with modern and traditional interiors, adding a subtle pattern and texture rather than overpowering the room.
How can I use a Shetland wool blanket in my home?
You can layer a Shetland wool blanket at the foot of the bed, drape it over a sofa or armchair, or use it as an extra cosy layer on cooler evenings. The medium weight and generous size make it versatile for both decorative styling and everyday comfort.
Are Shetland wool blankets suitable for people who get too warm under synthetic throws?
Yes, Shetland wool is naturally temperature-regulating and breathable, which helps prevent overheating compared with many synthetic fibres. It provides warmth when you need it while allowing excess heat and moisture to escape more easily.
What is the difference between your Shetland wool blankets and faux fur throws?
Shetland wool blankets offer a lighter, more breathable feel with a classic woven texture and herringbone pattern, ideal for year-round use indoors. Faux fur throws, on the other hand, have a plush, heavier handle and a more indulgent, fur-like appearance — and are also perfectly suited for outdoor use, whether draped over a chair on a cool summer evening or used as an extra layer on chilly nights outside.
