Newly sourced vintage Onkaparinga woollen blanket styles have just been added to our ever growing colour range of Hot Water Bottle Covers!
Nothing warms you like cuddling a hot water bottle. They've been around for ever. And for good reason.
Made by up-cycling vintage Onkaparinga Blankets, these Hot Water Bottle Covers are a lovely, snuggly, caring gift.
Onkaparinga is a South Australian brand that has been around for 150 years and they are still manufacturing beautiful blankets.
I had a couple of original blankets that I'd inherited from my Mum. She had taken them to boarding school with her in the 1950s. With today's central heating and feather quilts there isn't much need for blankets on the beds.
What better way to keep using these beautifully crafted pieces?
Those original hot water bottle covers from Mum's blankets are all sold out, so I'm constantly on the hunt for more blankets in equally as great condition and colours.
There is simply an envelope style opening to access the water bottle itself. Check out my video.
Some of our finished covers have the beautiful blanket stitch detail on the closure, others satin, and there is fringing on the red/black one too - swoon!
These covers do double duty: The Wool helps with heat distribution plus it adds to the warmth.
Fits the standard Australian Water Bottles - which are 2litres and measure approx. 40cm x 26.5cm
Team one with one of our liberty print hankies, to make a lovely care package for a flu ridden friend.
I've had customers buy these for their beloved pet dog - to keep their little bed warm during the winter months!
The Hot Water Bottle itself is not included, but I have some if required. Please just contact me or leave a comment during checkout. They are an additional $10.
We have a huge stash of blankets, and I can only list 10 x styles here. So please check out my other listing for more colour styles:
