Happiness Is a Warm Blanket: 10 Woolly Throws for Winter

December 24, 2014

We’ve covered wool camp blankets, heavy bed blankets, summer cotton blankets, and military blankets. Yes, we like blankets, but we have yet to fully explore one of the most inviting categories: chunky knit and textural woven throws. Here are 10 that you can really cocoon in on a cold day. And don’t forget: A blanket, a good book, and a cup of tea are the equation for happiness.
