Apple Acre Woven Blanket

Created exclusively for The Merchant’s Table by British textile designer and weaver Eleanor Pritchard, Apple Acre is inspired by the Suffolk landscape and, like its companion Folly Field, takes its name from the writings of local twentieth-century farmer, ruralist and country writer Adrian Bell.

Apple Acre has a wonderfully timeless quality, with a palette inspired by the soft, chalky colours of the Suffolk landscape. A delicate fleck of rust woven through the chalky ground creates a warm, gentle pink tone, punctuated at wide intervals by pairs of stripes in rust and deep damson red. Fine score-lines run across the surface of the weave, creating a subtle rib reminiscent of quilting, while the double-cloth construction gives the blanket a beautifully soft texture and generous weight.

Eleanor is known for her thoughtful use of colour, pattern and texture, drawing inspiration from landscape, found patterns and vernacular British textiles and reinterpreting these traditions for a contemporary setting. Her designs are developed and sampled on her George Wood dobby loom in her London studio, where colour, pattern and weave structure are carefully worked together.

Following Eleanor’s extensive hand-woven sampling, Apple Acre was woven at a third-generation family-run mill in Lancashire, with Eleanor working closely with the highly skilled team there to bring the design into production. It is a quiet celebration of Suffolk’s distinctive landscape and the enduring traditions of British weaving.
