This is 100% wool, merino wool which is nice and soft and warm, and made in America (although the ones I bought for christmas gifts last fall were made in England) 50"x60" in a pretty plaid
So, doesnt have to be an "army" blanket to be a realy good practical blanket, it can be practical and cheap and real nice looking !
