Bundle Up With the Best Wool Blankets

"As nights transition from crisp to cold through fall and winter, the best wool blankets are the best accessories to grab for cozy bundling. Whether you're looking for a throw blanket or bigger bedspread, these aren't the itchy or scratchy covers from time's past. Our editors' favorites are made with soft wool fibers that only feel more comfortable with routine wear and care. Aside from pure wool, we looked for wool blend blanket options made with materials like cashmere that are durable and breathable."

"You can now count the number of woolen mills in the U.S. on the fingers of one hand. It's not just their increasing rarity that makes these blankets so appealing; many of these products are still made in the small towns of their origin-from Oregon to Connecticut-adding further charm while also providing jobs for locals and keeping the industry humming."

"One of associate commerce director Lori Keong's favorites, this 100% lambswool throw is both a comfortable and decorative blanket. It pairs a plush texture with fringe details for a simple accent in a bedroom or living room. "I love how much heat it generates without too much heft and how unassuming the colorway is in my already minimal bedding setup," she says. "It looks great slung over a couch too.""

Wool blankets offer cozy, breathable warmth ideal for fall and winter nights. Soft wool fibers and wool blends like cashmere deliver comfort without the itch or scratch of older blankets. Editors prioritized pure wool and wool-blend blankets that become softer with routine wear and care, with attention to durability and breathability. Selections include budget, luxury, and overall picks such as Legends Luxury Luxe Lambswool Throw, Jenni Kayne Alpaca Basketweave Throw, and Quince Cashmere Wool Patterned Throw. Many favorites are produced in America's dwindling woolen mills, supporting local jobs and preserving traditional textile craftsmanship while offering factory tours at some shops.
