April is National Decorating Month đš
National Decorating Month allows people to give their walls a fresh coat of paint, change the layout of their living room, and bring back life to their old furniture. I guess it stems from the old âSpring Cleanâ.
Even if you havenât got the energy or the finances for a complete overhaul, just adding a pop of colour here and there will brighten up any interior.
@herringboneandplaid, weâve got all the pops of colour that you need - wool and cotton throws in a range of glorious colours and designs. From gorgeous dusky pinks in our XL waffle, beehive and geometric throws, through red, orange, petrol blue and navy, to an emerald houndstooth and a rainbow stripe. We can definitely satisfy the interior designer in you clambering to get out!
And if you canât find what you need on our website, give us a call as we have new stock being delivered all the time.

Itâs National Tweed Day đ
National Tweed Day is the time to celebrate everything to do with tweed fabric, including the Scottish landscape where it is made.
Did you know? Though it may have originally been called âtweelâ, which was basically a Scots version of âtwillâ, a mistake in handwriting changed it to âtweedâ as it was assumed to be related to the Scottish river called Tweed.
Thick and made of wool, woven tweed fabrics are often made into suits that are warm and long-wearing. Here @herringboneandplaid we celebrate all things wool, none more so than the gorgeous throws and blankets that we sell. We have a particularly dense pattern know as Tweed, which comes in four beautiful rugged colours, perfect to keep you warm in bed or on the sofa. Or just to add a colour accent to an interior decor.

Campaign for Wool đđ
Wool can help to protect, restore and reset the balance of nature. Weâre trying to raise awareness of the natural benefits of choosing wool over man-made fibres. As well as being soft to the touch and beautiful to look at, natural fibres work their magic - theyâre temperature regulating, moisture wicking, insulating, hypoallergenic, durable and biodegradable. So much better for the planet than polyester!
@herringboneandplaid we have shetland and merino wool throws and blankets in a rainbow of colours, designs, sizes and textures. From our striking chevrons to traditional tweeds, waffles, windowpanes, beehives and fishbones. Definitely something for everyone, including our adorable wool pram blankets for the new arrival in your life đ¶đ».
âŠ.. and its not just about blankets, we stock gorgeous striped lambswool wrist warmers and beanie hats too!
And if thatâs not reason enough to choose wool, it biodegrades naturally in the land and ocean - creating no micro-fibres, plastic waste or landfill issues. Woolâs durability means it can be worn for longer, repaired, recycled and passed on from generation to generation.
So, donât buy synthetic this year as it wonât keep you nearly as warm - do your bit for the planet and invest in wool đđ.
