Parks Project Park Shadows Woven Blanket

Yes, the woven construction is durable enough for machine washing. We recommend washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and hanging it to dry to preserve the integrity of the weave and the graphic design.

This blanket is designed specifically for portability. It is lightweight and folds down compactly, making it easy to stash in a backpack or tote for hikes, picnics, or road trips without adding significant bulk.

It functions well as both. The durable woven fabric is sturdy enough to serve as a clean, comfortable barrier between you and the ground at a park or beach, but it is soft enough to use as a throw for warmth on cooler evenings.

The design is woven directly into the fabric rather than printed on top, which helps the pattern resist fading significantly better than screen-printed alternatives. While all fabrics will eventually show wear from intense, prolonged UV exposure, this blanket is built to maintain its aesthetic through regular outdoor use.

The blanket features a sturdy, tight weave intended for outdoor durability, so it has a slightly structured, substantial feel rather than the plush softness of a fleece or wool indoor throw. It is comfortable for lounging and sitting, though it is designed more for utility than for wrapping up in bed.
