Point Blankets

[robbie]

I have found myself semi-addicted to these blankets.

I am particularly fond of the classic Hudson's Bay Point Blankets.

I was just curious if anyone else collected or was interested in them?

I know a ton of the mills made them or made imitations of the Hudson's Bay Point Blankets. I think Pearce (a subsidiary of Woolrich) made them for the US market, and an English made them for the UK,and Canada.

[oh snap]

I have an English made blanket and love it. Very warm and heavy and a good piece to dress up the couch IMO. Lots of interesting history behind them as well.
