Design Sleuth: Jacob Wool Blankets and Throws

When cooler weather arrives, we find ourselves revisiting Ilse Crawford's interiors for the Olde Bell Inn, our reigning favorite wintery interiors project, with rooms that are reassuringly traditional yet modern at the same time.

Below are some sourcing ideas for Jacob sheep throws.
