The quality of this blanket is excellent; soft, cozy and warm.
I've never had such a beautiful and luxurious blanket! The feel and creamy color is elegant and just right! The craftsmanship is impressive as well!
Thank you!
I love my blanket! It is very soft, and the undyed color is beautiful. This blanket is free of any synthetics or microplastics, which is a must since we lay in bed for over 8 hours everyday. Customer service is also very good; I had a question about their wool processing methods and they replied promptly and clearly.
Merino Wool Blanket
I love the wool blanket. It adds a nice layer of warmth, and I love that it is a natural product! 😀
Wife loves it, natural and as amazing as it is a clean healthy fiber to have against your body!
Beautiful drape, lighter weight than I imagined, warm. Less itchy than others I've owned. I persisted wish it were a few inches longer (width is perfect) because I like to pull the covers up very high
Your blankets are way more versatile than you think! I bought these 2 blankets for a different purpose: to sew a winter coat for my daughter and a long winter cape for me. Your blankets are the perfect material! (Check out historical blanket garments!)
Love the weight and fabrication of the blanket however it's a slight bit scratchy. I feel this may get better over time with proper care.
I have not used these blankets yet. They will go on the beds after the winter duvets are cleaned and stored. These blankets will go under a lightweight summer coverlet. I think they are beautiful but cannot give a full review right now.
I bought this blanket as a "gift" to my husband and we LOVE it! We have linen sheets and this blanket is all I need to stay warm in a cool-ish winter bedroom in Chicago. It's beautiful. I wanted a domestic natural fiber blanket (trying to purchase only fabrics that can be composted at end of life, but this blanket will last for generations!). We are very pleased with this blanket.
Christmas present. Not opened yet.
The Merino Wool Blanket from Shepherd's Dream is wonderfully cozy, and soft, and beautiful and warm, and snuggly. Very pleased, and recommend highly.
A pleasant weight without the bulk. Warm but have not been sweaty. Love this!
I have a merino wool blanket on my queen size bed and when I purchased a king I went looking for a replacement. This wool blanket is perfect! It is just the right weight, soft and comfortable against my skin and layers beautifully with the sheets and a top comforter/throw depending on the season. I love how it is made in the USA and is all natural 100% merino wool.
I'm trying to minimize my impact on the earth as much as possible while also taking care of some specific needs. This natural, undyed wool blanket covers a lot of points.
Electric blankets made out of fleece had me either too warm or not warm enough, so sleep was extremely restless. As a little kid, my grandparents always had Hudson Bay blankets on the beds, but the history of those is fraught with social injustice. I found Shepherd's Dream by search and was so happy to find an ethical source for wool products that are made to be as natural as possible. (I'm also chemically injured, so toxic dyes are a concern as they impact others making the product.)
The first night I crawled into bed, it felt like the beds at my grandparents: a firm, nicely weighted covering that keeps me warm, but not too. I'm in New England and we're heading from cool spring into a suddenly hot summer. I still keep the blanket over my feet and it's just right. I'm so happy to have found Shepherd's Dream! The blanket is beautifully made, soft and came with care instructions. I expect to have it for many years. The quality tag was even signed by a real person.:-)
I also purchased one of wool contoured pillows. I love it, too. Some have reported lanolin odors on wool products. I have noticed no such thing and I'm sensitive to odors.
I highly recommend this blanket (and pillow) to anyone looking for a quality, warm, breathable, sustainable product. Thank you Shepherd's Dream for filling a much needed niche.
Me in ME
The merino wool blanket exceeded my expectations! It is soft, thick, warm and cozy. I love sleeping under wool because of its temperature regulating properties. This blanket is a dream.
I am going through the "change of life" to use a southern term, which results in wild swings from being too cold to too hot in the same night, even before I've gone to sleep. I've discovered how much more comfortable natural fabrics are in terms of sweating and whatnot, but cotton blankets were still too cold unless I layered 2 or 3, then inevitably too warm with that many later in the night. So I decided to try a wool blanket, and splurged on this beautiful merino wool blanket because I do have sensory issues and I knew regular wool would be too itchy for me even with a sheet. The merino wool blanket is not itchy at all! It is very soft and sensory friendly. And for temperature regulation, it's like magic. I thought I would miss my electric blanket, but when I'm cold, I warm up surprisingly fast under this blanket with no extra layers needed, and I have yet to get too hot! Every perimenopausal woman needs one of these blankets. My only little gripe is that I wish there was a Twin XL size, because this blanket is a bit short on the end of my Twin XL bed for my taste. But my feet are still covered, and I still feel like it's worth 5 stars in spite of this.

I think that the blanket is a work of art, but it weighs a ton for a weak old 86er and it's not all that warm. I've put a loose-woven throw between it and the sheet. So its very nice, but not what I need. Too much trouble and expense to return. One day someone will love it
