The Blanket story, for us ... We did not plan to make Blankets but people wearing WeatherWool asked for them, and they were very well received.
Andy McMurry, one of our Advisors and Ranchers, mentioned to us some research that wool's thermoregulatory properties help infants and adults sleep better. We did find a link to material published by Woolmark, a division of Australian Wool Innovation. Other studies also indicate that wool helps babies sleep better, offering protection from cold, heat and moisture. There is also some very interesting info available from the people at Wool Sleeping Bag ... and THANKS to them!! The link will bring you to a page on their website entitled Wool Sleeping Bag Advantage. I've just lately started a new Wool and Sleep page on this site. We'd be very interested to know about any other studies regarding wool bedding or sleepwear.
Blankets can be made from any of our Fabrics. These blankets are not scratchy and almost everyone will find them comfortable against bare skin.

Our bolts of Fabric are about 53 inches (135 cm) wide, excluding selvedge ... and so blankets wider than that need to incorporate some kind of design that enables panels of Fabric to be joined together, as shown in the photos of the Queen Blankets.
- The Lynx Fabric Blankets in larger sizes (Twin, Double, Queen, King) will have borders in Brown or in Lynx
- Drab Green Blankets will have Black or Drab borders.

- Black Blankets will have Black borders.
- If you would like different border colors, please give us a call.
