Toting Handmade Aran Style 100% Merino Wool 71" X 37" Throw Blanket Made in Ireland (Parsnip)

Description

Merino wool is the remarkable result of millions years of evolution. Merino fibers are extremely fine, enabling them to bend far more than traditional, coarser wool fibers. This makes Merino wool blanket feel soft and luxuriously gentle next to your skin. In contrast to synthetics, Merino is an active fiber that reacts to changes in body temperature. So it helps you stay warm when the weather is cold, and cool when the weather is hot. Also Merino wool blanket can absorb moisture vapor, it tends not to create static electricity, helping it to drape beautifully and be less likely to cling uncomfortably to your body than other fabrics, and it attracts less dust and lint. Wool is self-extinguishing, it will not support combustion, that's why some fire-fighters' uniforms are made from wool and why it's an excellent fabric for bedding. This fabric is Eco-friendly because, when Merino fiber is disposed of, it will naturally decompose in soil in a matter of years, slowly releasing valuable nutrients back into the earth.
