A good blanket for everything!
Found this Faribo wool blanket at a resale store. Confirmed with Faribo that it’s from the 30’s. Can’t wait to use it for camping/outside.
Got this queen sized Pendleton blanket for $114 at the mill in Pendleton, Oregon. It is a factory second. It brings a strange amount of joy despite just being a blanket
This Mexican blanket has kept me safe and warm just about everyday for at least 15 years: its a little worn (through fault of my own/I wash it and dry it too frequently)
