Is it warm enough on its own in winter?

It is a lightweight layering blanket, so most people use it over a duvet or another blanket in cold months. On its own it suits mild nights and three-season use.

Can it really go in the washing machine?

Yes, it is machine washable, but use cold water on a gentle cycle and air dry flat. Hot water or a dryer can shrink and felt the wool.

Virgin wool has some texture. Many owners find it soft enough for bedding, but people with sensitive skin may want a sheet between them and the blanket.

What sizes are available?

It comes in Twin through King, with the King weighing about 6.6 lbs. Check the listed dimensions, since the width varies by size.

How does it compare with a synthetic fleece throw?

Wool breathes better and stays warm when damp, and it should last longer. Fleece is softer on skin and easier to wash, but it traps heat and pills over time.

Our take on the Faribault Pure & Simple Wool Blanket

The Faribault Pure & Simple is a 100% virgin wool blanket woven in Minnesota, sold in Twin through King sizes. It is a lightweight layering blanket rather than a heavy winter quilt, so it suits people who want warmth without weight and a plain, undyed look that fits most bedrooms. Against synthetic throws it breathes better and holds warmth when damp, but it costs more than mass-market wool blends and needs careful washing. Owners rate it highly, praising the soft hand and lasting build.
