L.L.Bean Wool Blanket

Because this is a vintage piece from the 1950s, the wool has a slightly coarser, more textured hand-feel compared to modern, treated merino wools. It is best suited as a decorative throw or a secondary layer rather than something you would want directly against bare skin for extended periods.

To preserve the integrity of the fibers and the mid-century construction, we recommend professional dry cleaning only. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as these can cause significant shrinkage and damage the wool's natural structure.

This is a lightweight wool throw, so while it provides excellent insulation, it is not a heavy-duty comforter. It is ideal for layering over a bedspread or keeping on the sofa for chilly evenings, but it is not intended to be your primary source of warmth in freezing temperatures.

Very good condition indicates that the blanket has been well-preserved with no significant holes, thinning, or major stains. You can expect minor signs of wear consistent with its 1950s origins, which only adds to the authentic, lived-in character of the piece.

At 66 x 77 inches, this blanket is sized more like a generous throw or a twin-sized blanket. It will drape beautifully over the foot of a full-size bed or cover a twin bed, but it will not provide full coverage for a queen or king mattress.
