The Absolute Darkness Blanket is the perfect blanket to keep you warm and to add a warmth to any room with the darkness of the black and the subtle hints of yellow and blue to brighten the space.
This tartan takes us to a place where darkness is Absolute. A place where reliance on your brother is a means of survival. A place where the working man carries his lunch can far beneath the ocean, and under the earth's surface working the black seam; an endless ribbon of steel his only link to fresh air and blue skies.
Family, friends, and sunshine are the simple pleasures that fill a coal miner's life. Their struggles, sacrifices and contributions live on in story, song, and now textile.
Blue represents the sky and ocean, yellow sunshine, grey identifies steel rails and black is coal.
This tartan is a tribute to celebrate their lives and commemorate the legacy of coal miners, their families and communities who are bonded globally.
