The Otterburn Mill Pram Rug has a truly royal heritage. Whilst on a visit encompassing Alnwick Castle, Queen Alexandra (our King’s Great Great Grandmother) was presented with a hand spun travelling rug from Otterburn Mill. The gift marked the beginning of a royal love affair with Otterburn tweeds, woollens, and rugs. In 1926, following the birth of Princess Elizabeth (Queen Elizabeth II), royal patronage for Otterburn Mill was extended as Buckingham Palace requested a custom-made pram rug for the royal pram. Otterburn Mill is proud of this ancestry, and today this heritage is woven into every baby blanket produced. Over the years the rugs have remained largely unchanged and they are still woven in Great Britain using the classic design, making the rugs the perfect gift for any new born.
