History of Welsh Tapestry Throws & Blankets (Carthen) This area of Wales was once the centre of woollen blanket production, with dozens of mills thronging the powerful Teifi River & its tributaries. Most are long gone, but not all are consigned to the museums. Rock Mill is a working mill, producing a traditional & contemporary range of Welsh tapestry woollen blankets & throws for a whole new generation. A popular tapestry pattern, & perhaps the most recognizable of all Welsh tapestries, is Caernarfon. The subtle grid-like pattern is one that has become synonymous with Welsh blankets in the modern era. Traditionally Welsh Tapestry Blankets were passed down from generation to generation & given as gifts on special occasions such as wedding & anniversaries.
