John Atkinson has a long and impressive history of manufacturing England’s Finest Woollen Blankets. Our history started in Sowerby Bridge in 1828 when John Atkinson & Sons started weaving high quality wool blankets, before the reign of Queen Victoria. The John Atkinson brand was later acquired by Wormalds & Walkers of Dewsbury who also manufactured the historical Hudson’s Bay Point Blanket. In 1983 Hainsworth bought Wormalds & Walkers and moved production of the John Atkinson blankets to their mill in Stanningley, West Yorkshire where it remains today.

Here at John Atkinson we work hard to ensure our blankets meet the high standards that our name is synonymous with. All of our wool blankets are manufactured at our mill in West Yorkshire, enabling us complete control of the entire manufacturing process. Once the blanket pieces are made, they are cut and hand finished in our blanket department onsite and despatched directly to you the customer. We believe in long lasting high quality blankets and throws which can be enjoyed for generations to come.
