A home is just not complete without a collection of cozy throw blankets for naps, chilly nights in front of the tv, football games and gatherings around the outdoor fire pit. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and throw blankets were either of the handmade-by-grandma variety (nothing wrong with that) or made of wool so scratchy that you would rather freeze than use it to warm up. Throws, and textiles in general, have come a long way and the options are endless; soft alpaca knits, lightweight cotton, ultra soft fleece, dramatic chunky knits. You name it, it’s probably made into a blanket. We certainly own our fair share but one thing that has caught my attention in recent years is the impact of textiles on our environment and our health. It never occurred to me that the fabrics we wear and use in our home could be harboring harmful substances and I’ve become more conscious about looking for items made with safer textiles. If you are concerned about this and want to purchase more consciously as well, look for OEKO-TEX, GOTS and MADE SAFE certifications on the product or in the product description. Some brands, like Coyuchi and Avocado Mattress, are solely dedicated to manufacturing and selling products made with safe and sustainable fabrics under incredibly strict standards. I’m sharing a variety of throw blankets in this post, some of them will have these previously mentioned certifications and some will not, but I did try to find blankets either labeled as “non-toxic” or “sustainably sourced.”
