Heritage Blankets
Price range: $895 through $1,095
Product Description
Heritage Blankets are a timeless addition to any bedroom setting. One of our very first blanket designs, the Heritage Blanket continues to be a customer favorite. Classic bands of hand-dyed stripes accent each end. Inspired by antique wool blankets recalled from our founder’s youth, this clean classic design feels timeless, yet modern at the same time. Traditionally used in coastal Maine summer cottages, these “summer-weight” blankets are lightweight but warm. Naturally breathable wool stays cozy while wicking moisture away while you sleep.
This 100% wool blanket is handwoven in Maine, made with pure virgin wool sustainably sourced from small New England farms and spun at a family-run spinnery in Vermont. On king size blankets, stripes are oriented vertically.
