The Connecticut Blanket is a 100% wool blanket made from the fleeces of sheep owned by members of the Connecticut Sheep Breeders Association. The project is sponsored by the Association to benefit our members by pooling their wool and having a value added product to sell to aid in the sustainability of their farm.

The wool is collected in early June at UCONN where it is inspected for cleanliness, structure, length and more. Once packed away in large wool bags it is trucked to South Carolina where it is scoured (washed) and returned to New England for carding, spinning, weaving, fulling, napping and cutting into blankets. The blankets are available in King, Queen, Full, Twin, Long Throw, Throw, Baby and Scarf. Each year a new pattern is chosen but it is always a light and dark combination as we do not dye the wool.
