Good for support, a little stiff
The blanket provides excellent support for poses, but it's a bit stiffer than I anticipated.
The Essential Yoga Wool Blanket is a foundational yoga prop designed to support slower, more restorative practices, from supported poses and seated meditation to added cushioning and warmth during longer holds. Its substantial weight and generous size allow it to be folded, rolled, or layered to provide lift, padding, or insulation where needed. The wool-rich blend offers natural warmth and gentle structure, helping retain heat and support stillness during extended rest and recovery. Hand-loomed in India using recycled fibers.

Exactly what I needed for meditation and savasana, provides excellent warmth.
Robust build, great for propping and adding a bit of weight.
The blanket has a wonderful, heavy feel that's perfect for grounding. I use it often for supported bridge pose or just draped over me during cool-downs. The quality of the hand-loomed weave is noticeable.
This blanket is very effective for adding lift and insulation during yoga. Its weight is perfect for grounding. However, it's not as soft to the touch as some other wool blankets, which is a minor point for direct skin contact.
