I have a private collection of nineteenth Century & early Twentieth Century Welsh blankets . These are the ones I just can`t bear to part with ; mainly from my home county of Ceredigion , but also from Carmarthenshire , Pembrokeshire & Montgomeryshire .
 
Along with some fabulous vegetable dyed tapestry bedcovers from North Wales , Nursing shawls and Flannel quilts made out of South wales miners` shirts.
 
I also have samples of very early blankets & flannel , including sample books from DERW & Gwili Mills . Along with price lists & brochures & items of social historical interest .
 
Some of my precious collection is already on permanent display in several of the Museums . Whilst the nucleus remains available for exhibition .
whatever your project , if it involves Welsh textiles , I would be happy to help or advise.
 
Please contact me if you are interested in booking a talk or are researching anything to do with the West Wales woollen Industry .
