About

QEST WOOL BLANKET 2020

This limited edition blanket features an enlarged scale of the new Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Fund (QEST) tartan, designed by Kinloch Anderson to celebrate the Fund’s 30th anniversary and the 180th anniversary of the Royal Warrant Holders Association.

In a collaboration between two of Scotland’s oldest family businesses, Kinloch Anderson and Johnstons of Elgin we designed a limited run of these 100% wool blankets. The setting, or pattern, reflects the Royal Warrant Holders Association Tartan, which is based on the Stewart Tartan - widely worn by the Royal Family and part of their heritage.

Proceeds from the sale of this new tartan will be donated to QEST, a charity dedicated to excellence in British craftsmanship, for which HRH The Duke of Rothesay is Patron.  For decades, HRH has worked tirelessly, championing the benefits of wool from its renewable to biodegradable properties. He is also Patron for the Campaign for Wool, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. The Duke of Rothesay was presented with a Qest Blanket during the 2020 Wool Week.

This beautiful thick 100% wool blanket has and oversized sett weave on one side and a plain navy weave on the reverse.

The Story Behind the Design

HRH The Prince of Wales is the Patron of QEST, and this is recognised by including the predominant colours of the Duke of Rothesay Hunting Tartan - a tartan worn by HRH, as the Duke of Rothesay.

In addition, the three gold lines in the design represent the three Grantors of Royal Warrants, HM The Queen, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and HRH The Prince of Wales.
