Hudson Bay Wool 6 Point
Queen: 90"x100"
Hudson Bay Legendary Blankets that set the standard by which all others
are measured
In the late 1700s, wool blankets were so important to comfort and survival
that they were used as a form of currency in trading between trappers and Native
Americans. Beaver pelts were exchanged for blankets through the Hudson`s Bay
Company and its outposts throughout Northern Canada.
- Our Hudson Bay Point Blankets retain the authentic 100% wool quality
that has made these blankets legendary.
Like those sold in the 18th century, today's Hudson Bay Blankets are made in
England with wool blended from sources in England, Wales, New Zealand, and
India.
- Each type of wool is selected for qualities that help create a
water-resistant, soft, warm, and strong final product.
- The wool is dyed before it is spun and then air- and sun-dried to brighten
the colors.
These blankets warm the interior of any home, cabin, or cottage. They will
keep you and your guests warm and cozy on the coldest nights, just like they've
kept generations of trappers, hunters, fur traders, and Native Americans warm
and comfortable.

Notes:
Some manufacturers
are currently either adding a few extra inches OR shaving inches off of
these "standard" sizes.
Also note that mattress depths vary widely by manufacturer. Measure the
depth of your mattress before purchasing blankets. Standard and older mattresses
average 9-12", while newer pillow-top mattresses are 14-16" deep and up. These
deeper mattresses will require additional depth. As you can see a full (4 point)
Hudson Bay Blanket will cover the entire top of a queen size mattress but with
less overlap around each size. This is fine for an extra warming blanket. Some
people don't want a lot of overlap so they will purchase a smaller size blanket.
On the other hand a King (8 Point) Hudson Bay Blanket will give you lots of
overhang on a Queen size Mattress if you want to tuck the blanket under the
mattress. It`s all a matter of preference.
