Born in the Pacific Northwest, this blanket is built to withstand cold, wet conditions—whether you’re skiing Mt. Hood, camping in the backcountry, or cozying up by a backyard fire. Weighing over 4 pounds and loom-woven for consistent thickness, it delivers long-lasting comfort and reliability. Machine-washable and triple-washed during production, it’s soft, hygienic, and ready to use right out of the package. This is a versatile, value-driven blanket that performs as well in your car emergency kit as it does on your bed.

Key Features

Extra Large 64″ x 88″ Size – Spanning over 5 feet by 7 feet, this blanket offers generous coverage for one or two people without being bulky. When folded, it compacts down to approximately 16″ x 11″ x 4″, making it easy to store in a car, backpack, or emergency kit.
Warm Even When Wet – Wool’s natural insulating properties allow it to retain warmth even in damp conditions, making this blanket ideal for unpredictable weather during camping, hunting, or winter travel.
Loom-Woven Construction – Crafted with precision on a loom to ensure even texture and consistent thickness across the entire blanket, enhancing both durability and comfort.
Solid Lock-Stitch Edges – Reinforced stitching prevents fraying and extends the blanket’s lifespan, even with frequent use and washing.
Machine Washable – Unlike many wool blankets, this one can be safely machine washed on a delicate cycle, though hand washing in cold water is recommended to minimize shedding and preserve quality.
Triple-Washed in Production – Each blanket undergoes a triple-wash process before shipping, resulting in a softer feel, reduced odor, and less shedding from the start.
Indoor & Outdoor Versatility – Perfect for picnics, stadium seating, travel, or as an extra layer on cold nights at home. It transitions seamlessly from campfire to couch.
Available in Plaid – The classic plaid design adds timeless style to its rugged functionality, making it as attractive as it is practical.

Important Notes

To maximize the lifespan of your Arcturus wool blanket, follow proper care instructions. Always use a wool-specific detergent and avoid top-loading machines with center agitators, which can cause damage and increase shedding. Washing in cold water—either by hand or in a front-loading machine on a delicate cycle—is recommended. Line drying is strongly advised, as dryers can degrade wool fibers over time. While the blanket is triple-washed to reduce initial shedding, some minimal shedding may occur during the first few washes. With proper care, this blanket is designed to provide years of reliable use. Available in multiple colors and sizes, including plaid options, to suit different preferences and needs.
