About this deal

The Pure & Simple blanket features a whipstitch hem in a matching thread color for a seamless design and is available in four sizes, ranging from twin to king. It’s designed to be an extra layer of warmth for your bed, though we wouldn’t blame you if you kept it out on the couch for cuddling up as you watch a show or a movie. It comes in six neutral colors (light heather gray, bone white, navy, camel, olive, and admiral blue) that will fit in with just about any bedding or interior color palette. Camel is a luxurious shade which adds warmth and depth while remaining neutral enough to avoid clashing. Some blankets are made from pure wool, while others are made from a blend of wool and other manmade fibers. If you have always written off wool blankets as itchy or have sensitive skin, you may want to consider a wool blend, which often makes for a softer blanket. But that doesn’t mean all 100-percent wool blankets are scratchy and uncomfortable. The Citizenry La Calle Alpaca Throw is fully made of pure baby alpaca wool, often noted as one of the softest, most sumptuous wools available. Wool has a reputation for being an itchy material, and indeed some of the blankets on this list do have some degree of coarseness along with that cozy warmth. Malarkey says that if you want an itch-free experience, look for merino, cashmere, and alpaca wool, as well as wool blends with Pima cotton or Tencel fibers. “These kinds of wool are distinguished by their delicate, soft fibers, ability to drain away moisture, and ability to insulate,” she explains. Whether you pair yours with jeans and a cosy jumper, shrug it over a slip dress or use it to hide those minimal-effort joggers and tee, you can always rely on a camel cover-up to keep you on the right side of pulled-together. Scale up from your usual size to mimic the nonchalance of an off-duty A-lister, or opt for sharp shoulders and a boxy body to contrast flowing layers beneath.

Malarkey says you don’t have to wash wool blankets often, perhaps every three to four months, depending on use. If they’re machine-washable, keep that water temperature on cold only—hot water will shrink it. “Try spot cleaning in between and using a gentle wool wash and conditioner,” Malarkey recommends. Fast forward to the 21st century, and we’ve swapped this fabric for softer wool, cashmere and mohair iterations. The key shapes remain the same however. Which means: buy a camel coat now and you’ll still be wearing it for years to come. Some laundry rules are simply not meant to be broken—or are they? You might have learned early on that wool and washing machines do not mix. However, there are several washable blankets on our list, notably this beauty from L.L. Bean, that are indeed machine-washable and even dryer-friendly.

While not nearly as expensive as cashmere, an alpaca blanket will have a higher price tag than other wool blankets, but Huber says it’s worth it. “Good blankets are always something you can add to your home that are both functional and decorative,” she says. “Getting a good blanket for the colder weather ahead is a great investment.” Finding a great camel coat is an essential part of every woman's shopping list. A wardrobe classic that will last for seasons to come, this luxe-looking style will prove a worthy investment year-round, but especially for winter. While tailored wool styles reign supreme and work well when slipped on over smart outfits, there are plenty of other camel coloured coats to shop for winter, too. Try wrapping up in an on-trend faux fur teddy coat, which will look perfect with jeans and a cosy sweater on weekends, or over a floral dress as the temperatures warm up towards spring.

If you have a wool blanket that you’d like to make a bit softer and provided you can let it get wet, Malarkey suggests treating it as you might your own hair: Run it through cold water, give it a shampoo, and then follow up with a conditioner to soften it. If you're not familiar with alpaca wool, you're in for a treat. When alpaca fleece is made into wool fibers, it creates an impeccably soft weave that is durable and warm. In fact, alpaca is said to be two to even three times warmer than sheep's wool. But don’t worry about being weighed down by this blanket, as it’s super lightweight and also surprisingly water resistant. This alpaca blanket comes in seven deep, rich colors that bring an earthiness to any interior. The prices on our best wool blankets range from splurge-worthy to buy-one-in-every-color. Pricier blankets tend to be softer and more durable, but not always. “I recommend looking at the material used and also feeling the wood against your face,” Marlarkey says. “I have found some good quality wool blankets for a decent price.” Durable camping equipment also often comes with a heavy price tag, which is why this woolen blanket from Ektos is a breath of fresh air—especially when you’re outdoors. The lightweight wool traps and retains body heat and can even keep you warm when it's wet, making it great for when you're at your cabin in the woods or in a tent for an overnight campout. It’s especially perfect for use around a campfire, since no additional flame retardant chemicals are used during production. The included pouch also makes it ideal for general travel too. Made up of 80 percent wool fibers, the blanket’s texture is a bit coarser than others on this list, but it will be one of the warmest. It comes in 10 colors, including a bright red, white, and blue plaid, with a double whipstitch hem in a coordinating color. At 66 inches by 90 inches, this wool blanket is roomy enough for you and a partner, so everyone can stay warm. Day-to-day maintenance is also easy since wool is naturally odor and stain resistant; just brush away any dirt and debris accumulated from outdoors and, if needed, lightly hand wash it in cold water.

This blanket features a plain self-hem, but you can also opt for the throw blanket version that has a fringe edge to add a bit more flair in your home. For an additional fee, you can also get it monogrammed for a personal touch. The blanket is available in one of five colors (ivory, toast, chocolate, teal, and blue) and three sizes, ranging from twin to king. To keep this blanket looking good as new, dry cleaning is recommended.

Blankets made of 100-percent wool are typically dry clean only—you certainly wouldn’t want to even think about putting the Etsy Chunky Knit Blanket anywhere near your washer or dryer. But if your washing machine has a wool cycle, you could wash it at home. For the easiest cleaning option, look for a wool blend blanket like the Tartan Blanket Co. Recycled Wool Blanket that is machine washable. Machine-washable blankets should still only be washed on cold and line dried, according to our interior design experts Melony Huber and Chantelle Hartman Malarkey. A timeless trench in a chic camel shade will also upgrade your office outfit this winter with a luxe touch, while camel wrap coats are ideal for off-duty style. Simply pair yours with leather trousers and trainers for an easy everyday look.

You might even mistake it for an old-fashioned baby blanket. The merino wool is warm enough to keep you toasty through the fall and winter months, but is also lightweight and breathable enough to be used all seasons. It would make a particularly great gift for friends who live in climates where temperatures significantly drop at night. This blanket features a weave made of a mix of new and recycled wool fiber fibers that in result creates a durable blanket with minimal shedding. It's been washed three times before it arrives at your doorstep, so it's ready for use right away. (Note: If you find the wool scent a bit overpowering, the brand recommends airing it out in the sun for a day or two.) It comes in three sizes (twin, full/queen, and king) that are roomy enough to cover multiple people on a couch or just be placed over any size mattress. With six color varieties, ranging from classic cream to richer colors like red, it can blend into your existing decor or become an accent piece. And when it comes time to refresh the blanket, you can just put it into your washing machine—just keep it out of the dryer. If you associate wool blankets with itchy skin, you might think a budget-friendly one would make for a downright uncomfortable experience. Not this one from Arcturus. It’s washed three times during the production process to become the softest wool blankets you’ll ever own. You won’t have to worry about shedding either, thanks to the mix of short wool fibers and synthetic fibers that help maintain its weave. Size is very much a personal preference when it comes to shopping for the best wool blankets. Do you want a throw blanket for a sofa or your favorite chair, or do you want one to serve as another layer of bedding on a king-size bed?
