TBCo Watch Tartan

The Tartan Blanket Co. gives a modern twist to a Scottish classic. This Black Watch design in dark blue, green, and black is a timeless classic and the oldest official tartan pattern. The blankets are made from recycled wool clothing and recycled blended fibers that would otherwise end up in a landfill. They are woven in a family-run workshop with which the brand has a close partnership that benefits both people and the planet. Recycling significantly reduces the amount of dye needed, as the items are sorted by color. The combination of recycled wool with recycled blended fibers, which also include synthetic materials, gives the resulting yarn greater length and strength. While wool typically shrinks or pills when washed, the wool blankets from The Tartan Blanket Co. are more durable and so tightly woven that they can be machine washed without losing softness. Not only are resources reused, but production at the source also aids traceability and reduces the CO2 footprint of the blankets. Additionally, The Tartan Blanket Co. prefers sea freight over air transport from India, which, although more expensive and time-consuming, has a lower environmental impact. Care instructions: Take to a textile cleaner or wash on a wool cycle in the machine at no more than 30 degrees. Add wool detergent and fabric softener, if desired, to the detergent drawer and not directly into the drum. For stains, let the wool detergent sit on the spot for 10 minutes before washing. Do not tumble dry or hang to dry; lay flat to dry.
