This heavyweight throw blanket is made from 100% uncoated New Zealand merino wool, with no synthetic coating. The fabric is thick and lofty yet light enough to carry to a campsite. The weave has a natural stretch, and the fabric has a tensile strength of 65 N/ktex.
The wool holds heat and still breathes, so the blanket can be used on a bed, at a campsite or in a car. It stays warm when damp, unlike cotton or polyester fleece.
The smaller size works as a sofa or lap throw. The larger size covers a single bed, wraps a tall adult from head to toe, or can be used as a camp blanket over a sleeping bag.
