Bankets and Throws

The Foxford brand is recognised worldwide as a quintessentially Irish one. Foxford has become a byword for high quality rugs and blankets, making ideal gifts for anyone who appreciates the warmth and luxury of 100 per cent Irish lambswool, perhaps to decorate a plain sofa or to add an injection of colour to a bedroom. Foxford, or Beal Easa (ford mouth of the waterfall), is situated on the River Moy in County Mayo and overlooked by the Ox Mountains to the north-east. One of the last working mills in Ireland, Foxford was founded by an Irish Sister of Charity in 1892 against the backdrop of Ireland having a strong historic tradition of weaving. Today, it is a thriving mill with master Irish craftspeople creating beautiful pieces that are treasured across the world, and particularly with the Irish Diaspora living overseas.

Choose from traditional throws and rugs, such as the Foxford Classic Red Check Irish Made Blanket or the Foxford Cream & Beige Lambswool Check Blanket. Alternatively, for a more contemporary feel, go for the Irish Made Foxford Mohair Lambswool Blanket (available in a variety of vibrant colours), the Irish Made Foxford Red Spot Lambswool Blanket or the Foxford Lambswool Baby Blankets (available with a Pink Spot or Blue Spot design, and also as a Pink Check or Blue Check design). These blankets and throws will be so greatly appreciated and stand the test of time in their high standing quality and craftsmanship – a gift that is sure to be treasured.
