Creswick all-natural 100-percent australian merino wool full/queen size blanket - merino wool is known as natures best insulator and high performance fabric. The wool comes from the merino sheep of australia who are regarded as having the finest and softest wool of any sheep in the world. Because merino wool fibers are smaller in diameter and more numerous than coarser wools, it makes merino one of the softest, most durable and dense types of wool available. It is also naturally itch free. The benefits of the merino wool blanket are that it has an amazing warmth-to-weight ratio making it a perfect temperature regulating blanket that will keep you warmer in the winter months and cooler in the summer. The super-fine merino wool fibers naturally absorb and wick moisture (sweat) away from the skin keeping you drier and more comfortable. Due to its uniquely thin fibers the merino wool blanket does not retain odor because bacteria cannot find a solid surface to grow on. It is also hypo-allergenic, as is most wool. Our blankets are designed at creswick woollen mills in australia which was founded in 1947 and still operating today. Creswick woollen mills rigorously avoids the use of chemicals in production of our wool blankets and we make sure that all of our products are manufactured from 100-percent all-natural components making an already perfect blanket healthy and as well. This luxurious full/queen size blanket measures an oversized 94-inch by 90-inch and includes a 1.5-inch satin trim on all four sides to give it a clean crisp edge. Care instructions: warm hand wash with wool detergent, dry cleanable.
