That don't look like too bad of a blanket, Bernie. It's very hard and expensive to find 100% wool anymore.

only thing I have to say about the cheaper than dirt blankets - they are relatively thin, yet seem very stiff and heavy. I've got a capote made from one and it is just not comfortable, I'd sell it or give it away but wouldn't feel right about it really since I'm not happy with it, I don't know why anyone else would be.
