I realize it’s summertime, but a really great throw blanket (or blanQuette™)is a mainstay in my home no matter what the weather is like. For me, it’s more about comfort than whether I’m feeling cold. Sometimes, you just want to wrap yourself in a little bit of luxury. And if you’ve ever had organic cotton bedding or clothing, you know I’m telling the truth when I say there’s nothing more soft or luxurious (though bamboo will give it a run for its money).
This beautiful St. Moritz blanket by Yumi & Laurie makes me want to curl up in my favorite chair by the window and read a book. According to Y&L, the St. Moritz Collection is “inspired by thoughts of snuggling apres ski in front of a roaring fire.” While I have no intention of lighting a fire, it does make you want to snuggle, so I can definitely see where the inspiration came from.
It is available in 4 colors: Persimmon, Aegean, Sky & Spa White. And at an ample 6’6″ x 4’9″, you can easily invite your child into your lap for some good cuddling time with enough room for both of you.
Why It’s Green:
- Made of 100% Certified Organic cotton
- Yumi & Laurie textiles are antimicrobial
- As a company, Yumi & Laurie is committed to using only environmentally safe sustainable and materials and has taken a proactive stance on preserving the Earth
Price: $225
