Best Blankets

Yes, it's winter, but being perpetually cold we always have blankets on the mind. We've had these clippings tacked to our inspiration board for months, constantly fueling our blanket obsession...

And then lo and behold, the new Martha Stewart Living arrives in our mailbox and she's read our thoughts again. We couldn't keep our eyes off of the "Collecting" feature. Piles of striped vintage wool blankets make us wish that we had held onto all of our old woolens. We're sure eBay can scratch our itch, but if vintage isn't for you check out some of our "new" favorites below:

Ratzer wool blankets

Pendleton "Geronimo" blanket

Pendleton "Chevron" blanket

Vintage Swiss Blankets (also here) (okay, not new but really really cool and only "gently used")

Toast "Elfet" Throw

Eileen Fisher Ultra Soft Alpaca Blanket

Wallter Ray Throw Blanket

Anything from Swans Island

Dash and Albert Caravan Stripe Throw

Looolo Windows blanket

There is >>nothing in the world
After the first bad cold snap in the new apartment, I got two (scarlet with black strip), and have been completely satisfied.

Check out the blankets at Brahms-Mount, which are handmade in Vermont, come in cotton, linen and cotton-linen and are by far the most comfortable I've ever slept under.
