Is Merino wool itchy?

Merino fibers are finer than standard wool, so most people find it softer. Sensitive sleepers may still want a sheet between skin and blanket.

Can it be machine washed?

Yes, it is machine washable, but the maker recommends dry cleaning for best results. Use a wool cycle and cool water if you wash it yourself.

What sizes does it come in?

Full/Queen at 86 by 84 inches and King at 86 by 102 inches. There is no Twin size.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It is an all-season blanket. It adds good warmth over a duvet in cold months and works alone in milder weather.

Does it come with storage?

Yes, a bag with a handle is included for dust-free storage between seasons.

How does it compare with a fleece blanket?

Wool breathes better and lasts longer than polyester fleece, but it costs more and needs gentler care.

Our take on the OakRidge Heirloom Merino Wool Blanket

The OakRidge Heirloom is a 100% Australian Merino wool blanket with a vintage-style satin binding, sized Full/Queen at 86 by 84 inches. Merino is finer than the wool in most wool blankets, so it feels softer against skin while still trapping warmth, and the weave is breathable enough to use year-round. It ships with a handled storage bag and is machine washable, though dry cleaning is recommended. Against synthetic fleece and cotton blankets it is warmer and more durable; against other wool blankets it competes on softness rather than weight.
