Colsie up this Christmas!
We’re big fans of Hygge here at YBEC, but we’re also fans of it’s Scot’s cousin, Colsie!
Have you heard the term Colsie? Perhaps it’s stirred a memory from your childhood, one where you were cosy on the sofa, hot drink and book in hand!
While the memory may have gone, the term hasn’t, and Edinburgh based, The Tartan Blanket Company, are bringing Colsie back with lots of cosy blankets!
Colsie is the habit of embracing winter darkness and finding comfort and warmth in life’s simple pleasures. (Definitely something we can get on board with!).
If you think it sounds a lot like Danish hygge with a tartan theme, then you’re right, it’s almost the same thing.
Scots have been colsie-ing up for years, the term has been around since the 18th century in Scotland. This year the term has returned to Instagram accounts everywhere, with the help of the blanket makers in Edinburgh.
Grab yourself a seat by the fire, a gorgeous blanket, some of which can be found here, and snuggle like you’re never snuggled before! Anyone for Hot Chocolate? Mulled wine?
Read up on how to get your Hygge on this winter, with our 3 top tips! There’s nothing stopping you turning this into a colsie winter too!
