Micro-fiber stuff is nice, and very practical, but I still like a wool blanket once in a whiles. I still have an old wool Hudson Bay blanket that the folks got on a 1948 vacation trip up to Canada (their first real vacation since their 1934 marriage, they'd survived the Depression, had then thrived during the war, and they had a new '48 Ford to "break in") , several years back I had the borders mended. It's not for daily use, but after 68 years it's practically good as new...
