Know before you buy
A napped finish means the wool has been brushed to raise the fibers, creating a thicker, softer, and more plush texture. This process enhances the blanket's natural warmth and makes it feel much cozier against the skin than standard woven wool.
This blanket is not machine washable and should be dry cleaned only to maintain the integrity of the virgin wool. Spot cleaning with a damp cloth may be used for minor spills, but professional care is recommended to preserve the fabric's quality.
No, the blanket is not reversible. It features a specific woven design on the front, while the back will show the reverse side of the weave and construction.
The blanket is made from 100% pure virgin wool, which is a natural fiber that can sometimes feel itchy to those with high sensitivity. Because it is not hypoallergenic, those with specific wool allergies or extreme skin sensitivities should exercise caution.
The blanket comes in four standard sizes: Twin (66" x 90"), Full (80" x 90"), Queen (90" x 90"), and King (108" x 90"). We recommend measuring your mattress and considering how much overhang you prefer on the sides before selecting your size.
The stripes are a nod to early 1900s frontier trading post blankets. Historically, these stripes were used to signify the value or size of the blanket, a tradition Pendleton continues as part of its National Park collection.
