We are pleased to now offer a range of John Atkinson Baby Blankets, perfect for your little one.  As they are manufactured from 100% Merino, the blankets are luxuriously soft to touch.  Wool is a natural, renewable fibre which has many benefits to help your baby sleep.  They are beautifully bound in silky satin which babies love and can be used as a comfort blanket as they baby grows.

John Atkinson’s luxury woollen blankets working in partnership with JB Custom Linens have been exhibiting in New York.  Our wool blankets and throws were on show as part of JB Custom Linens collection of luxury bedding as seen below.  Our blankets, throws and now cushions are available in America with an attractive monogram embroidered onto the cushions / throw with contrasting whipping.  Our John Atkinson range received a great response and we hope to continuing working closely with Julia Low in the States.

We have just received a very interesting phone call from the great, great, great grandson of John Atkinson!  John was just playing around on the internet and typed his name into Google as so many of us do, and was amazed to find John Atkinson Blankets.  Although aware that one of his ancestors was a blanket manufacturer he had no idea that his name was still used to this day to manufacture luxury woollen blankets and so close to where his great, great, great grandfather started his business at Flush Mill, Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire.  We look forward to a visit from John Atkinson very soon… 

Well this week has certainly made us feel Spring is on the way here in Yorkshire, and as we don’t know how long the sun will last we thought we would make the most of the weather and headed to a farm in North Yorkshire to take a few PR shots with our Managing Director, Thomas Hainsworth.  Here you can see the results, Tom with a selection from our Pure New Wool range, which we will use to help relaunch the new John Atkinson image and promote the benefits of wool!

It has taken a year of planning, researching and designing but finally we are ready to launch our online shop, selling our beautiful blankets which are manufactured by us in West Yorkshire.  We are also pleased to announce our ‘new look’ which is a fresher take on the traditional blanket and something we are very proud of.  We will also be launching our new branded John Atkinson bags, so keep an eye out for these in a shop near you!
