Cashmere Summer Blanket
First of all, let’s shop for lavish, warm and cozy blankets. Who wouldn’t love a luxurious, cuddly blanket for Christmas, perfect for snuggling by the fire, alone with your favorite book sipping hot cocoa or with your special someone talking and sipping hot totties? This year’s featured blankets include three delightful cashmere blends made of sumptuously soft super fine Merino wool (95 percent) and a touch of Cashmere (5 percent). These beauties are offered in three colours – Summer (a pretty pink plaid), solid gray, and charcoal check and feature a detailed fringed finished. Each blanket measures a generous 136 x 180 cm. Next, you’ll find a modern twist in the Mondo Blanket with its distinctive black, white, and gray dot design created from 100 percent Lambswool for opulent softness. The Mondo measures 136 x 180 cm. Last but not least are the Cath Kidston Mohair Blankets, cozy and warm fun made of 62 percent mohair, 35 percent wool and 3 percent polyamide. The blankets are perfect to ward off winter’s chill and come in the merry and bright colours of pink and duck egg. The Cath Kidston snug and cuddly mohair blankets measure 135 x 150 cm.

Get Warm and Toasty This Season With Flannelette Bedding

Do you find it difficult to sleep at night sometimes due to being cold, especially in the winter time and the colder months? Your problem can easily be resolved by purchasing some lovely soft flannelette bedding; a fabric which is designed to keep you snug and warm in your bed at night.

100% Brushed Cotton Flannelette

Flannelette, which is also known as flannel, is an ultra soft, loosely woven material which is produced with a twill weave featuring a napped surface. There are several types of flannel, all of which differ in the weave and degree of napping. Flannelette can either have a long or short nap and can be napped on one or two sides.

It is known to have originated from Wales back in the 16th Century when it was used to make warm clothes to combat the winter cold and was traditionally made from carded wool, although modern flannel can be derived from cottons, wool or a synthetic blend. Flannel was originally most popular in clothing whereas nowadays it is more known to be used for bed linen and pyjamas being the popular clothing type; making sure everyone is toasty warm in their bed.

Our flannelette bedding here at Victoria Linen is made at a 200 thread count with 100% brushed cotton; the fabric is fuzzy and thicker than any regular fabric such as standard cotton. The flannelette is designed to keep people warm and is extra soft; therefore it is perfect for cold sleepers, winter time or even a holiday home/caravan where it can be chilly in the evening. It is a fabric which is easy to take care of and is very durable; the more the bedding gets washed the softer the fabric gets.

We offer a wide range of products within our flannelette range including fitted and flat sheets, pillowcases, fitted sheets for Moses baskets, bedding for cots and much more.
