The yarn color is called "Acorn." This shade has been discontinued by Berroco, but we love it! This lightweight blanket is made from an elegant yarn that is 100% pima cotton*, so far the only all-cotton yarn we've found that results in nice, soft blanket. Even the sheep are 100% cotton.

* The sheep on this blanket are 100% organic Peruvian cotton and less fluffy than what you see in the image. For the actual appearance, see the Tea Green version. If you prefer the fluffy sheep, which are polyester sherpa, please tell us in the order notes as we also have it with the more fluffy sheep.
Size: approximately 25 inches (63.5 cm) along each dimension
Care: Officially (from the yarn supplier): hand wash cold, lay flat to dry, no bleach, no iron. However... We've washed and dried all of these blankets already, and tried to knit them a little larger to handle shrinkage. Medium dryer heat is OK, just don't leave it in all the way until it's bone dry. Take it out and lay it flat under a ceiling fan (or in the sun) once it's warm and 50-75% dry and it will be fine.
Primary Yarn Content: 100% pima cotton
