Product description
Arcturus. Born in the Pacific Northwest.
We’re Arcturus, an outdoor company from Washington State. We know a few things about cold, wet weather, and that’s why we developed our line of wool blankets. Whether we’re skiing Mt. Hood, crabbing off the Alaskan shoreline, or just hanging by the campfire, we grab these wool blankets for warm and refined snuggling.
Weighing over 4 lbs, our wool blankets are designed for years of use. These blankets are loom-woven to ensure even texture and thickness. A solid lock-stitch prevents the edges from fraying and they’re machine-washable, which means you don’t have to worry about getting it dirty.
And hey – what’s better than a warm blanket? A warm blanket that didn’t eat your wallet for lunch. Hope you enjoy it. We do.
Extra Large 64″ X 88″ Comfort
Grab a friend or two and get cozy. At over 5 feet by 7 feet, the Arcturus Essential Wool Blanket is just the right size to have with you without being too bulky and cumbersome. It’s the sweet spot in size. When folded, these blankets measure about 16″ x 11″ x 4″.
Warm. Even When Wet.
Wool has an incredible property of being able to keep you warm, even when it’s wet. We bring this blanket with us wherever we go: ski trips, hunting, camping and even backyard BBQs. It’s at home wherever you are.
At Home, Indoors and Out.
Keep cozy whenever your adventures take you, even if that’s just in front of your fireplace.
Throw one in your trunk for emergencies or throw one on the end of your bed for those extra cold nights. These wool blankets are just at home indoors as they are outdoors.
THE BEST GOT BETTER
Thanks to You
Thanks to input from thousands of customers, we’ve made dramatic improvements to this blanket in order to provide more warmth and value. Unlike cheaper blankets, Arcturus wool blankets are triple-washed during production, making them softer, more hygienic, and less susceptible to shedding.
Amazing Value & Quality
“This is simply amazing! I have many military surplus wool blankets and this while not quite as thick is wonderfully made and the construction is second to none. It’s an amazing bargain considering the amount of a comparable Pendleton product. So thrilled will this blanket. I will be buying more for family & friends, plus another for my car!”
Comfy and Warm!
“I ordered this blanket, after much research, to keep in my car, take camping, and general use, as needed. It arrived super fast, and is comfy, keeping me warm in a 60-ish degree basement with a fan running. There is no harsh odor, it looks great, and is plenty big!”
Best Wool Blankets I Ever Purchased
“You can feel the quality when opening the package. The comfort of the weight and the durability is obvious. Happy with my purchase.”
How to Maximize the Life of Your Wool Blanket:
Triple Washed During Production
Every Arcturus wool blanket is triple-washed during production so you can use it right out of the box. However, at some point you’ll probably want to wash it.
Use a Woolen Detergent
We recommend using a detergent formulated specifically for wool for best results. Like all loom-woven blankets, this blanket will shed during the first few washes.
Wash Separately in Cold Water
To maximize the life of your blanket (and to avoid unnecessary shedding), we recommend washing your blanket by hand in cold water.
You may also machine wash your blanket separately in cold water on a delicate cycle using a front load washer. Avoid top loaders with a center agitator as they can cause damage and will increase shedding.
Line Dry Only
To extend the life of your blanket, we recommend line drying only. Dryers are hard on clothes and blankets alike, and line drying is much gentler.
Follow these instructions and you’ll enjoy a lifetime of use from your new Arcturus blanket!
Don’t forget about plaid!
Add a touch of timeless style and rugged comfort to your adventures with the Arcturus Plaid wool blanket. Classic never goes out of season.

Good quality, NORMAL wool scent, excellent value.
No odor whatsoever upon arrival. If you bury your nose in the blanket and REALLY REALLY sniff hard, you might catch a tiny bit of normal “wool scent.” Every wool blanket I have ever encounterd has the same scent. No biggie. It is genuine wool and smells no different than a wool sweater. No massive shedding, either. Maybe I got lucky and got a “good one,” but I doubt that. I really question the hysterical one-star ratings for this blanket, which almost caused me to not purchase it. They are doing Arcturus a big disservice with the ridiculous hysteria. (I am not affiliated with Arcturus, I am just a normal customer.) If one has a wool allergy of course this will not be a good buy for you, but your allergy or over-sensitive nose is not a reason to give a one-star rating. The blanket is medium heavy (4.5 pounds advertised) and very warm. It feels hefty and and comforting without pinning you down with sheer weight. Normal and typical “wool scratchy,” which is not scratchy but rough compared to fabrics like cotton. Again, not abnormal. The edges are bound with quality stitching. I like this blanket so much I that have recommended it to family members, and the $45 price makes this a great value. This blanket is going to live in the back seat of my pickup as a passenger comfort blanket / survival blanket.

Quality, Quality, Quality
I ordered three different colors of this blanket to match furniture, we use them as throws. These are solid, fairly thin but very heavy because the blanket fabric is very dense. One of my blankets did initially have a smell, from the natural lanolin. After letting it air and tumbling it for a few minutes in the dryer on no heat the smell was gone. They are very warm, breath well and I find that the weight seems to help me sleep better. After a bit of use the blankets soften up quite a bit, much smoother than the wool blankets I used as a child which must have been made with fire ants. Pay attention to the washing instructions if you need to wash. Hand wash and line dry is the best way to care for them should you need to launder them.

Very nice quality
I ordered one of these blankets to actually use for the lining of a garment Im making but the quality was so nice I ended up ordering another one. The wool is dense so its thin but heavy. The stitching is very neat as well and it is warm and not too scratchy. Its very soft for wool and doesn’t have any weird smells

Serious warmth when you need it. Great wool for the price.
Very nice look and feel to this blanket, I used it to stay warm for hours while deer hunting in freezing weather. I plan on taking this camping. Unlike the wool military blanket I used prior, this one is big enough to wrap my whole body in (I’m a bigger guy) and tuck under my feet for max warmth. Would make a really good emergency blanket for your car or basement if you live in tornado country. Would make the perfect gift, because let’s face it, nothing beats a wool blanket when you need one most.Is it scratchy? Not really, this is way softer than my military surplus wool blanket, but not quite as soft as a fine Kashmir wool sweater. Still quite soft and nice on the skin. The weave is really tight and the edges are nicely stitched.Wool is inherently a superior material to polyester (literally made of microplastics, yuck), and better than cotton for warmth and durability. Wool can put out fires and keep you warm even if it’s wet, so I’m giving an A+ to the sheep too, for having such great hair, not just the manufacturer for making it into a good blanket. Take the wool pill, you will not regret it. It’s time tested and natural. Just make sure to use woolite detergent and cool water to wash, then tumble dry no heat or line dry it, same as any wool product.

Sheds
This is a really nice blanket with a softer wool. The weight is beautiful and it is washable. It would be great for camping. However for stadiums or sitting around a fire, it is just too large. It also does shed small fibers on any fabric it touches.

Great value for great blanket
This blanket is a perfect size to use around the house, in the car, camping, wherever. It’s big enough for one person to wrap up completely or two people to share over top. It has a good feel, nice and soft and heavy. When I first opened the package it did have a very strong diesel-like aroma. I know that’s just the strong smell of lanolin and how my nose interprets it, but it is pretty powerful. After a gentle wash, the smell was mostly gone and it now just smells like a wool blanket. The color is a rich burnt orange that I love (less bright/vibrant than the pictures in the listing). This is not a $500 artisanal wool blanket but for the price you’re getting a great wool blanket for a good value. I’ve seen some “wool” blankets in stores that are 90+ percent synthetic with some tiny fraction of wool for the same price or even more. This is the way to go. I’m ordering another one in a different color based on my experience so far. By the time I’m done I’ll probably have one for everyone in the family.

For the price point, it’s a very nice wool blanket
Our winters can be very cold and stacking 3 conventional blankets on my bed and having to get up during the night to get another to achieve adequate warmth to sleep isn’t my cup of tea. One or two should be sufficient and this Arcturus blanket feels cozy warm and heavy similar to other wool blankets I have. It isn’t a Pendleton weight piece but certainly meets a very good standard for a wool blanket. I have the dark red colored one. It has a natural wool material scent but nothing pronounced, distinctly chemically offensive, or unusual for wool. The color is even throughout the piece as is the weave. I have not washed it yet as it’s new but would believe washing it with care as directed would be suitable. For the price point, this is a very nice wool blanket.

Amazing product
Just got mine in today. I absolutely love it. Very glad I decided to go with this blanket. Its huge. Lol. Seems to be very well made. Nice stitching. Very comfortable and feels great on the skin. Decent weight. It smells nice. I am planning to use this one at home, and will definitely buy a second one for bushcraft. Going to use it as a bed cover to lay on top of for insulation. Then I will use the bighorn 100 percent wool for a blanket. Hope this helps. Again, absolutely love it. Thank you Arcturus. You make a great product.

Achetez cette couverture ! Je l’utilise pour me couvrir lors des nuits fraîches et elle est parfaite ! Lourde, isolante et me permet de dormir sans soucis dans une chambre où la température est à 18°c.Aller ! Deux bémoles anecdotiques :L’odeur, 80% de laine donc il faut l’aérer durant les 15 premiers jours pour que l’odeur diminue.Moins douce qu’un plaid mais elle fait le job.Pour m’a part j’en ai acheté deux. Une pour moi et une pour ma femme.

Nils G. –
Fantastisk. Skulle ha den till skogen men den blir nog kvar på soffan. Drar bara av en stjärna eftersom jag beställde en röd men fick en svart. Har inte brytt mig om att byta då den är fin ändå.

Spodziewałem się wysokiej jakości koca, a tutaj kiepsko to wygląda. Materiał wydaje się sztuczny. Miałem już koce z wełny wojskowej (wojsko holenderskie) i był to zupełnie inny materiał.
