Anyone have exp with Pendleton Blankets

More specifically the motor robe (100%wool) and the Yakima camp throw (84% wool and 16% cotton)

The motor robe is cheaper but was wondering why if usually 100% wool is usually more expensive. Is it a lighter weight or somehting?

Wool blankets were what we used before weighted blankets. Kind of like car keys were the original fidget spinner, or your mom's vagina was the original hugbox.

they're great anon. you can sleep in them, wear them, fold them up and sit on them, they're comfier than a sleeping bag, warmer than a hoodie, and they don't melt or burn if they catch an ember. I don't understand this "everything that isn't ultralight is a meme larp" meme larp.

I have two MacAusland's and my two Alafoss (Iceland) blankets absolutely shit all over them when it comes to warmth/weight, aesthetic, and feel.

Even indoors I have to double-layer the MacAuslands, whereas the Alafoss blankets are fine in a single layer.

The two things I like about MacAusland's is the price and the size, since they make actual bedding sizes as opposed to the strangle single utility/throw size that most other manufacturers make. Otherwise, Alafoss is vastly better in every single way. This thread actually makes me want to order a couple more Alafoss.

Depends on all sorts of factors. I find good quality wool, properly cared for, doesn't cause me much itching. But a cheap, beat up, fuzzy sweater can be unpleasant.

it's very warm and soft enough for me to sleep naked

I own two of these French surplus blankets; at the time I think the 240x170cm was around 30€. Both are in excellent condition, with plenty of fuzz remaining. Other surplus blankets I've owned typically had suffered a lot of wool loss, with the actual weave frequently visible, and probably with dubious insulation as a consequence. Plus, they are absolutely huge for surplus blankets.

If wool is your thing, like it is mine, but you think performance is still important, I would sooner sew a quilt using more lightweight worsted flannel as the shell and something like:

... as the filling. It would be trivially easy. Blankets are charming, but little else.

I want them; and for the price you can buy several and do a basic stitch work to make a poncho. Soory you pay way more to cut out an hour of work.

20% poly isn't a plastic poncho- it holds the wool together efficiently so it is easier to clean without worry and has give instead of stretch

You can wear shelters, like you can a blanket. See pic; therefore you can cut some lines, reinforce some edges, and now you can wear the wool blanket like I said >>2389858

Better in what way?
Of those you mentioned, I have a couple Macs. They are thick, warm and soft, but not as tight weave as my twice-the-price HB. I have a Woolrich Morning Star that is about 10 years old that is nice and thin but very tight weave and you can't get them anymore.
Alfalfafloss I don't know about. If you're going to go deluxe and get a single blanket for the rest of your life, I would get a HB 4 point. If you want a bargain blanket to thrash in the mud and campfires, go to the thrift stores or army surplus sites. If you want my advice, I'd get a MacAusland or two, and use one on your bed, and the other for camping.

I like a thick blanket for under my sleep system in the winter, but a thin blanket for over top during the summer. It's better at tucking into the cracks and open spaces that cold air creeps in.
