Wool And Throw Blankets Can Make A Great Bed Cover And Enhance Your Room Decor

There's a certain quality and softness that a nice wool or throw blanket has that is indescribable.  They're great for camping.  Plus, they can add a little touch of rustic, or southwestern, flavor to the bedroom or living room decor.

Since wool blankets and throws are so unique and distinctive, they are often passed down from generation to generation as a family heirlooms, especially the ones that are handmade.

Wool and throw blankets are often made from 100% virgin wool.  But did you know that they can be made from recycled sweaters?  Wool blankets can also be blended with other fibers such as buffalo hair to give them extra texture and style.

Wool blankets are durable and very functional.  One pound of raw wool can make up to 10 miles of spun yarn.  Another great feature of wool is the fact that it can absorb up to 3% of its own weight without feeling wet to the touch.

Wool blankets are soft, warm and have great breathability.  Since they're not excessively heavy, a wool blanket can take the chill out of a cool night without being too warm.
