Coastal Comfort
by Katrina A. Yeager
Wrap yourself in a Swans Island blanket for cool evenings. These beautiful works are woven of wool from local sheep; it's spun in Vermont and dyed at a weaving studio in Maine. Wool is a naturally breathable, moisture-wicking fiber, and the high-quality materials used here exude comfort. Our favorites are the summer-weight blankets in indigo solid, teal solid, or white with teal stripes (17 additional colors/patterns are also available). Plus, each blanket comes with a hand-sewn linen case with cedar slats for storage. Offered in single, double, queen, and king sizes ($495-$825) and as a throw ($375-$475). From Swans Island Blankets, Northport, Maine. 888-526-9526, 207-338-9691; swansislandblankets.com
