Wool body with a banded gray-on-natural pattern across the bottom — clean enough for a modern living room, rugged enough not to look out of place on a dock or a fishing-camp bunk. Heavy enough to actually keep heat in, finished with a clean blanket-stitched edge instead of a fringe.
The throw size (about 50×60) lives on couches, the foot of beds, and the floor of duck blinds and ice houses. People who buy one tend to come back for a second to give to their dad or their son-in-law.
Faribault Mill has been weaving wool throws and blankets in Faribault, Minnesota since 1865, with the same looms running today as ran when the mill opened.
