Woolly Mammoth Merino Wool Blanket- 66" x 90" 4 lbs Thick, Outdoor/Indoor Throw for Campfire, Picnic, Beach, Van Life, Home, Army- Farmhouse Collection Heavy Duty Insulating Sleep Plaid, Black/Cream

Bought a few of these to equip our vehicles with emergency blankets. I did a little research between this blanket and another, perhaps more popular, low-cost wool blanket that is very popular here on Amazon. I ultimately chose this one because these blankets are basically felted whereas the other kind was not, which means that these blankets will be better at blocking wind if needed, and may be warmer overall, as well. In fact I compared this blanket with several others in the same price range and felt that this one was the best. I find the merino wool to be very soft and smooth (for a cheap wool blanket... it is still rougher than some other non-wool materials). Unlike many other similar wool blankets, these blankets really are not itchy, which is really nice. I expect you could comfortably have this blanket against your skin, whereas my other simple military-style wool blankets are a bit itchy and really are better used on top of another blanket. Because of the felted texture I expect low shedding, which can be a problem for some wool blankets. Also, there is a faint but distinct smell to them. I don't know if I'd describe it as a chemical smell, but it's not exactly the sweet lanolin smell that naturally accompanies wool either. We are an all-natural household and I have pretty low tolerance for any chemical smells around me (scented laundry detergent, perfume, cigarettes, gasoline, etc., are all intolerable), and the smell on these blankets doesn't bother me, even though I wouldn't describe it as pleasant. But, it's pretty easy to ignore and I think that it will dissipate with time.The weight is very good... nice and heavy like a wool blanket should be, and it looks very durable. I have a couple of other wool blankets, including one military issue, that aren't felted, and therefore have a fuzzier surface. I have really abused my military blanket and it is still holding up great, but based on the feel of these new blankets I expect these Wooly Mammoth blankets to be even more durable due to the dense felted weave. The dense felted weave also creates a very smooth surface that seems less likely to pick everything up like the standard military issue wool blankets can do.I'm going to try using one soon to see if they really will perform like I expect. If I am dissatisfied I will add to this review, but as of now I expect them to be at least as warm as my military issue, which is pretty awesome. Like other similar wool blankets, it is relatively thin (if you aren't used to this it might shock you), but don't let that discourage you... these kinds of wool blankets don't need to be very thick to work great, which is why they are so commonly used in military issue. They provide a surprising lot of warmth with minimal bulk. They work. Generally you can throw one of this type of wool blanket over the top of your normal blanket on a cold night when your normal blanket isn't adequate and it immediately makes a huge difference, so I always keep one at the foot of the bed of each of my family members. I haven't had an opportunity to try these out yet, but based on the look and feel I expect them to perform on par with the others warmth-wise, or perhaps better. Again, I'll add to this review if they don't live up to my expectations.So, based on my initial examination and observations, I highly recommend and believe that this is a great quality product for the price.

This blanket is of great quality, a great price considering the other manufacture. I would buy this again. Very warm, very breathable and not too itchy. Great product!

I really am enjoying this blanket. I bought it for cool nights around campfire or Friday night football games. It is wool so it is a bit itchy but not horribly so. It offers great warmth and seems to be very durable. I also like the size of the blanket, at 6'1" I have to problem covering up. It does come with an odor but I thought it went away after a few days out of the plastic shipping bag. For the price it represents a great value. It is not what I would call a light weight blanket, nor is it easy to clean as dry cleaning is recommended.

This is a great wool blanket! I've had lots of wool blankets, from top of the line Fairbault to cheap European 'army' blankets made out of 'mixed' fibers. So I know my wool. For those who have always used synthetic or cotton blankets, there is nothing like wool for comforting warmth, durability, great temperature regulation and lasting value.This is one of the very best blankets I've had. It is fairly light weight but it is incredibly warm. It replaced two other blankets on my bed. It has a very tight weave, it doesn't shed fibers and the color (Navy blue) is rich and deep. Slight smell of lanolin confirming the wool content. Highly recommended. I'll come back and update when I've had it for a year or so.

Nice large comfortable blanket. No itchiness. It also breathes well if you sweat. Initial lanolin smell that goes away after a bit of time, but not offensive. Wish it came in a bag as appeared in pic, but not a big deal. Appears to be of very good quality.

Very good quality, very warm, cat prefers it to the down sleeping bag

In this cold, wrapped in this nostalgic feeling blanket made me sleepy and calm in my couch. So warm and doesn’t make you sweaty. Oh. The comfort of natural materials can never be mistaken. Well worth the money. And, oh - did I mention it comes with a nice booklet with camping recipes? Love love love this

Well made and crafted blanket…..definitely worth the price

Very heavy, great quality wool blanket. Perfect for the car in winter and winter campfires.
