Anyone who's ever been handed down a generations-old wool blanket will tell you it's one of their most prized possessions. There's nothing quite like covering up with one of those bad boys when the weather takes a turn for the chilly.

However, they're not always the easiest things to take care of. If you'd rather skip the whole handwashing-in-a-bathtub thing, get one of Pendleton's washable wool blankets instead.

Although made from 100% virgin wool — which they strive to source to strict sustainability standards — these blankets have all been woven and treated to be machine-washable without fear of shrinking, fading, or pilling. They've got a bunch of different colors/patterns to choose from, and every one of them promises to keep its rich color for years to come.

Pendleton's Eco-Wise wool blankets start at $189 each for the twin size.
