Growing up in an agricultural state you gain respect for the farmer.  Recently I was befriended by a group of small family farmers who raise their sheep on the green pastures of northern Michigan and use the wool to make beautiful virgin wool blankets.  Lake Superior Woolen Company raises three breeds of sheep:  Polypays, Suffolk, and Corriedale.  The wool from each of these breeds is combined so their attributes produce a high quality blanket.  Wool is a renewable resource, it’s cruelty free, it’s fire resistant, odor resistant, non-allergenic, and resistant to dust mites.  It has air pockets to trap warmth and wicks moisture.  Blankets come in lap, full, and queen sizes.  Eventhough these blankets provide warmth, they are lightweight.  Wool blankets are an investment, since wool is almost indestructable, they last forever!  I feel very proud to carry these products because they are of excellent quality and it supports the American farmer.  Also, if you have allergies, like I do, being able to sleep without itching from synthetic fibers is a plus!  For your money, wool is an excellent investment.  I wonder if I could help with the shearing?  Lisa  JT6HBCZRXC29
