Last week we (Richard Sexton & Co) attended Scotland’s Trade Fair Spring at the SECC in Glasgow. We entered our latest product – the 100% wool Aran throw into their ‘Best Product Award’ and were proud to be Highly Commended!

OK, we didn’t win, but we were up against some excellent products with which we were featured alongside in a presentation cabinet at the show entrance. Hopefully we can improve on this next year, watch this space.

Read our competition entry below:

Our Glencroft® throw/blanket in a Celtic pattern is brand new to our range and we’re excited to be launching it at Scotland’s Trade Fair.

We are proud to say that this throw is knitted in the UK from British wool.

You may recognise the Celtic pattern, commonly associated with warm heavy knit winter jumpers. Which is why we thought it would work so well on a throw, so people can feel like they’re wrapped in a favourite pullover whether they’re snuggled in bed or sitting on the sofa watching a DVD on a cold evening.

This is a premium product at an affordable price for sale by craft and gift shops across Scotland – our core customers. It is important for us that we not only sell high quality sheepskin and knitwear but also maintain competitive prices (even against products not made in Britain) to satisfy our customer’s demand.

We know our customers like to get more for their money so we’ve also made this throw enormous – 4’2" by 5’0" (1.27m x 1.52m) – which means for double the warmth you can fold it in half and still have more than enough.

As with all our woollen items, this throw also has a natural ‘wool’ smell – have a sniff!
