Arcturus Rainier Wool Blanket

I was honestly really worried about it having an odor. I am extremely sensitive to odors and intended on putting the blanket at the end of my bed. As soon as I opened it, I thought, oh no, because it does have a slight odor, and I could see how many could mistake it for a petroleum like smell. But I took it immediately and opened it completely to inspect it, and realized that it's just a wool smell. Any odor it did have almost immediately dissipated. I'm wondering if it's possibly from the plastic bag that it's packaged in?? Nonetheless, if your mot familiar with wool, it does have a scent to it, but it's really only ever noticeable if you literally push your nose into it. I'm a bit obsessed with wool. I have wool socks, multiple wool sweaters, many wool blankets etc. It is an amazing fabric that breathes, yet keeps you incredibly warm and doesn't hold odors. But you need to kind of get used to how to care for it. It rarely needs to be fully washed. It simply doesn't hold odors, and the less you wash it, the longer it lasts; I'm talking years and years and years it will last with proper care. I know the directions say you can machine wash it, butI would highly recommend trying not to as much as possible. It simply won't need it. If you were to have that uncommon accident like you spilled wine or something on it, then I would have it dry cleaned - but how often do those types of things really happen?? If it seems like got stinky, air it on a line outside for awhile. It won't hold the odor and you run the risk of damaging it with each wash. I have Scottish wool blankets, New Zealand wool blankets, Pendleton blankets, and now this one. It's not as thick as the Scottish blankets, but about the same texture, and bigger than those for roughly the same price. It's about as thick as the Pendleton blankets but stiffer, and not quite as soft. It costs roughly 1/5 of a Pendleton blanket. The only other wool blanket that I have that says it can be machine washed is the New Zealand wool blanket, but honestly the thought of machine washing it terrifies me, lol. Washing a large wool item just seems like a terrible idea, and why? It really shouldn't need it. I'm pleased with the price, quality, and weight of this blanket. I was slightly worried by the reviews that show theirs coming apart, but based on the info I received with it, I'm fairly comfortable that the manufacturer would respond should I have an issue.

The real deal, I'm thrilled. In a world where you pay top $ for trash, theae blankets are a steal at this price. Spent a ridiculous amount of time looking for just this. I have 2 so far, Lone Pine and Fort Vancouver. 3 more loaded in my cart. These are not loosely woven see-through garbage, nor are they itchy military issue. I wouldn't say they're soft, but thats wool. Spent a 28°F night under a tarp with one and was comfy. Theyre heavy enough to be warm and comfy, but they're not ridiculously thick, perfect. The rustic patterns and colors are pleasing enough for the cabin and rugged enough for the trail. There will be a bit of an oily(?) odor which is actually a sign of quality which will fade after a bit. I actually like the smell of them. The twin size is big enough to wrap up in fae anyone short of a giant. My only gripe would be finding room to store all of them since I'll be buying more to pass down to family. I fully expect my future generations to fight over these once their value is appreciated.

Great blanket! Very warm, looks great on the bed. Perfect size to fold in half and put on top of the sleeping bag. I’m going to get one for everyone in the family for Christmas this year, I am so pleased with this purchase. After washing with a wool detergent in a top loader washing machine (no central agitator) on the delicate cycle and laying it flat on a drying rack in the sun, the blanket became softer and fluffier, while still retaining its warmth. The faint wool smell went away after washing as well.

This as a big hit as a Christmas gift for my husband. I'm a big fan of wool and wanted to get him a wool blanket for his side of the bed (he purloined one of our wool throws for this purpose, but it isn't long enough). I wasn't sure about the quality at this price point, but it is the real deal. He loved the Four Cedars colorway and the heft and weight of the blanket. It was perfect for keeping him warm while watching a movie in our under-insulated sun-room. While it isn't as soft as pure merino wool, it doesn't feel scratchy at all to me. It will make s a perfect layer for the bed in between the top sheet and blanket. Because it has such a high percentage of wool, I'm glad it can be machine-washed; it would be rather heavy to hand wash. I'll be using a made-for-wool detergent on the delicate cycle and then line-drying it. But I don't expect it to need a wash for some time since wool handles odors so well.

While ordering another one might seem obsessive, I do feel so inclined. This is a very nice blanket with great coloring and style. No regrets. We use it on the sofa. Is been great for this abnormally harsh winter.

Absolutely fantastic blanket. Thick, very warm, and soft. Definitely wool. We camped in the shark tunnel of our local aquarium and it was freezing and this kept me very warm. It also folds nicely. I haven’t washed it yet but it seems like it will hold up great.

Great blanket. Reminds me of bootcamp blankets. Keeps you very warm in the winter without being too hot during the summer. I love the coloring. I have machine washed once and the blanket doesn’t look any worse for the wear. Plenty of room for a couple or more than enough for a blanket hog.

I’d wanted this blanket for quite a while before finally having the budget for it. It’s gorgeous. I really wish it was still offered in larger sizes, but as you can see, the twin size fits my very thin 6” full size mattress satisfyingly. Would not recommended for thicker or larger mattresses. The smell out of the packaging was noticeable, but not as strong as other wool blankets I’ve gotten. It is VERY warm. As you might be able to see in the corner, I have around 300 gallons of fish tanks, all of which require heaters, especially in this winter weather. Unfortunately we cannot plug in our own heater because it pops the circuit breaker. This is the main reason I finally bought this blanket. I needed something extremely warm, yet resistant to mold because we deal with extremely high humidity because of the tanks. We’ve already had to throw away a whole mattress and a duvet after we went on a trip and forgot to leave air circulating. Wool is PERFECT for this situation with its excellent temperature and moisture regulation. I mean why wouldn’t it be if sheep literally evolved their coats to be that way? I now pair this blanket with one other wool blanket and then a fleece blanket underneath us and we are completely unfazed by the freezing temperatures! It’s impressive. How I’ve cared for my blanket so far: I put it in the washer on delicates mode with tap cold water and a small amount of detergent (found out later I shouldn’t use detergent at all). And then I put it in the dryer to tumble dry. I gave it three 30 minute tumble dry sessions and emptied the lint catcher each time. It was full of green dust the first time, but pretty empty the third time. Then I let it air dry on my bed the rest of the way. No abnormal shedding like some other reviews have mentioned. Just be gentle and cold. It’s visually fuzzier after washing it, but really only a little bit. I plan to soak it in a bucket with some hair conditioner later down the line to soften the fibers.

I recently purchased the Arcturus Mt. Rainier Wool Blanket and I am beyond impressed with this product. The blanket is incredibly warm, heavy, and large, making it the perfect addition to my bed during the colder months. The wool is of high quality and provides excellent insulation, ensuring that I stay warm and cozy all night long. The blanket is also machine washable, making it easy to clean and maintain. The size of the blanket is generous, providing ample coverage for even the tallest individuals. It also adds a touch of sophistication to my bedroom, with its elegant and timeless design. I was pleasantly surprised by the affordability of the Arcturus Mt. Rainier Wool Blanket given its impressive quality and performance. I would highly recommend this product to anyone in need of a warm and durable wool blanket that provides exceptional value for the price. Overall, the Arcturus Mt. Rainier Wool Blanket is a 5-star product that truly delivers on warmth, comfort, and style. I am confident that it will last for many years to come, providing me with a cozy and reliable source of comfort during the colder months.

Great quality product

●購入色： レッド・バッファロー ２枚（他店） ホワイト/ブルーグレー ２枚（Amazon） ------------------------------------------- レッド・バッファローは直輸入購入なんですが こちらもすごく染め、品質は良かったです。 海外のネットで評判を見て直輸入で購入しました。 実家は外国の方々が沢山出入りするような そんな家庭環境だった経緯もあり 慣れ親しんだアメリカン・ブランケット製品が 入手出来て本当に良かったです！ ------------------------------------------ 【製品の特徴】 Ａｍａｚｏｎや他の通販等で見かけるような 毛布の延長線のような製品では全くございません。 「これぞブランケット」といった製品です。 厚みがある訳でもないのに目が詰まっている為に 少しずっしりしているそんなブランケットです。 正直、この手の製品は日本では馴染みがないのと 見かけてももっと厚みがゴツくなって 「ラグ」というジャンルになるかと思います。 また日本家屋では靴のまま屋内を歩きませんので 「ラグ」でもなく「毛布」でもないといった そんなブランケット製品はあまり必要でもないため なかなか見かける事すら無いのが実情です。 さて製品に話は戻します。。。 まず染めや色合いが素晴らしいです。 また目の詰まり具合も素晴らしいです。 目が詰まっている為、柔らかさは毛布に劣ります。 起毛もしていません。 大きさは毛布程度ですので身体を包む事も可能だし ベッドスプレッドに利用するのも良いです。 ソファカバーとしても十分に使えると思います。 ラグとしての使い方も勿論可能です。 アウトドアなどの屋外利用でも使えるでしょう。 テント内の敷物にしたり そのまま地面に敷いてピクニックもいいですね！ アイデア次第で十分に使える製品と言い切れます！ 私がオススメする使い方は やはりベットスプレッドとして利用ですかね。 昔ながらのブランケットをお探しの方には 十分にオススメ出来る製品だと言い切れます！ 結局のところ、Ａｍａｚｏｎでも ホワイト/ブルーグレーを２枚購入しました。 日本人の保守的な色合いではないですねー 掲載写真通りで良い意味で日本にない青色です！ グレー部分もいわゆるライトグレーと いわゆるチャコールグレーなんですが こちらも日本の落ち着いたグレー系というより もっと映える印象で異国っぽいグレーです。 ホワイト部分はホワイトではなくベージュ系です。 とりあえずカラーコーデがなかなかの好印象です！ レッド・バッファロー、ホワイト/ブルーグレー どちらのブランケットもアウトドアや ピクニックでの利用も強く意識していましたので これならそうそう被らないと感じるだけに 購入した甲斐があったと納得しています！
