Winter unfortunately brings with it the cold. Brrr! When picking out a blanket or throw for the winter season, we’d recommend fabrics and materials that offer added warmth. The thicker the blanket, the better it will be at insulating and trapping warm air inside – keeping you cosy and snug underneath. The more layers there are to a blanket, the easier it is to keep the warm in and the cold out. Natural materials like wool, cashmere and cotton are considered the warmest! Be careful if you suffer from allergies though, they might not agree with you. Fleece blankets and chunky knits are also great at keeping you snug as a bug! Linen throws and loose knit blankets would be better for the summer months. They offer a breathable and lightweight layer that brings an extra bit of warmth, without being too heavy. But when it comes to winter, these blankets and throws would be better as decorative home accessories.
