Merino Wool Tartan Throw: A Lighter Take on a Classic
You asked, we listened.
Our customers love the rugged elegance of our Heritage Collection Recycled Wool Blankets — they’re durable, beautiful, and endlessly practical. But many of you told us you were also craving something a little softer. Something lighter. Something that could be yours and yours alone.
So, we’ve curated the next chapter in our blanket story: the Merino Wool Tartan Throw.
Woven in the UK at one of the world’s oldest vertical woollen mills and crafted from 100% pure Merino wool, this throw offers the same timeless tartan aesthetic you love, in a finer, more delicate form. It’s lighter in weight, silkier to the touch, and ideal for indoor use — a different kind of luxury, made for life’s quieter moments.
This is the one you keep on your reading chair. At the foot of your bed. Folded just so. The one the kids know not to touch. Because while our Recycled Wool Blankets are made to go everywhere — the car, the picnic, the footy game — this Merino throw stays exactly where you want it.
Because everything else in your life is shared. This one doesn’t have to be.

They don’t compete — they complement.
The History
This collection pays homage to a shared legacy of wool and land. The Southern Grampians region of Western Victoria—known as the heart of Australia’s Merino country—was once dubbed the “wool capital of the world.” For generations, fine Merino wool from this region was shipped back to the UK, including Scotland, where it was transformed into beautiful, enduring textiles.
Our Heritage Collection Merino Wool Tartan Throw in Winter echoes the legacy of this historical cross-continental connection: Scottish tradition, Australian fibre, and a shared history of pastoral life woven into every thread.

To keep your throw in its best condition:
