Best wool blankets

Start with the North Shore wool blanket. It's the one I'd buy: 100% wool with a classic hand feel, a substantial 468 GSM, and a 4.9 rating from 136 people — a proper heirloom-style bed blanket that also comes in twin.

Who the others suit:

• 100% virgin wool queen — the best value for a full bed; same 90" x 96" size, also very well rated.
• Arcturus Tahoe — a washable wool bed blanket if you want low fuss; the Arcturus Military is the rugged, cheap-and-tough option for camping, cars and cabins.
• Jonathan Adler Eden merino throw — the softest, most giftable pick for a sofa.
• Manduka recycled wool — for yoga and floor use.
• Random recycled wool — a characterful British-made throw on a budget.

Skip the polyester "wool" blankets and the military surplus fire blankets if you want something soft against the skin.
