## Description

Voted best budget wool blanket by MyDomaine HEAVY AND WARM- The Arcturus wool blanket weighs 4.5 lbs, with a density of 550 GSM (that means nice and thick). This blanket will keep you warm, period. GREAT LOOKING, LONG LASTING- Loom-woven and hemmed on all sides with contrast lock stitching, our blanket looks right at home in the field or on your couch, while standing up to rugged use and abuse. Available in 7 colors - Military Gray , Olive Green , Navy Blue , Charcoal , Wine and Camel . PLENTY OF ROOM FOR ALL- Large size (64" x 88") will keep you and a friend cozy while camping, at a tailgate, football game, or an outdoor concert, or just as an emergency blanket in your vehicle. 80% WOOL- Wool is a time-tested natural fabric that will keep you warm, even when wet. The remainder of the blanket is composed of 20% hypoallergenic synthetic fibers for durability and washability. Wool is a naturally fire-retardant material. The blanket itself is not treated with any additional flame-retardant chemicals, making it safe for you and your family. MACHINE WASHABLE- ﻿Every Arcturus wool blanket is triple-washed during production so you can use it right away. However, at some point you'll probably want to wash it. We recommend using a detergent formulated specifically for wool for best results. Like all loom-woven blankets, this blanket will shed during the first few washes. To keep shedding to an absolute minimum, we recommend hand washing your blanket in cold water. You may also machine wash your blanket separately in cold water on a delicate cycle. Avoid top loaders with a center agitator as they can cause damage and will increase shedding. To extend the life of your blanket, we also recommend line drying. Dryers are hard on clothes and blankets alike, and line drying is much gentler.

Review: Shedding - The product is made in India. It is shedding a lot. Bedroom is full of shedd.
Review: Achetez cette couverture ! Je l'utilise pour me couvrir lors des nuits fraîches et elle est parfaite ! Lourde, isolante et me permet de dormir sans soucis dans une chambre où la température est à 18°c. Aller ! Deux bémoles anecdotiques : L'odeur, 80% de laine donc il faut l'aérer durant les 15 premiers jours pour que l'odeur diminue. Moins douce qu'un plaid mais elle fait le job. Pour m'a part j'en ai acheté deux. Une pour moi et une pour ma femme.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you get rid of that nasty smell. I have washed it four times and let it soak in white vinegar wash and I can still smells horrible**
A: ALL my merino wool clothes smell horrible while washing but it goes away after drying. It's a natural animal hair and the smell should be expected unless clothing had been treated by manufacturer. It will eventually go away after hanging in the fresh air outside a few times. Hope this helps a little.

**Q: Does this blanket have a fire retardant on it?**
A: Seller claims it's "fire retardant", which is probably just probably just a misunderstanding by the seller. Fire retardant in terms of this blanket would mean the material that would otherwise catch on fire (and melt onto your skin), has had its fibers treated chemically to be self-extinguishing. Whereas "fire resistant" in terms of cloth or this blanket means that it resists catching on fire (naturally self-extinguishes) to begin with, as in the case of wool.

**Q: Does the manufacturer state that there is no fire retardant chemical added during the manufacturing process?**
A: That’s correct. We’ve checked several times with our manufacturer and they continually confirm they don’t add any fire retardant to the blankets. Thanks for checking!

**Q: What are the dimensions of this blanket after it has been washed?**
A: As long as you don't machine dry the blanket (which we don't recommend with ANY wool products), the dimensions will remain relatively similar to how it is when purchased. Thanks for checking us out!
