Aspn - Travel Blanket

Aspen - Travel Blanket

The Quaking Aspen Collection has plush embossed ridges set against the width of the fabric, reminiscent of moguls and ski trails running through the heart of the Rocky Mountains! This reminds me of something that you would find in "The Little Nell", a famous lodge in Colorado. I could picture someone like Jennifer Aniston wrapped up in this blanket, sitting near the fireplace hearth after a long day of skiing.

This fabric has a plush 15mm pile height and 700 gram weight per linear yard, perfect to keep warm no matter how cold it gets.

Description of what you're getting - The Travel Blanket is approximately 40" x 60" when it's unfolded. When you're on the go, it folds up into a 12" x 18" pillow. Each Travel Blanket includes the Blanket, attached storage pillow, toggle closure on the pillow, & "D" rings attached to both corners of the pillow for a variety of carrying options.  The Travel Handle Upgrade is included with every Travel Blanket.  It is a matching fur handle that clips onto the rings. You will also get another "D" ring ( one ring on both sides of the pillow) and a Carabiner for even more carrying options.  DIVINE Fabric, Lock-down quilting stitch, and travel handle upgrade are optional.   

Step-by-step instructions for efficiently folding the blanket within its integrated pocket. (see picture above)   

1. Lay it flat: Spread the blanket on the floor or a table (skip this step if you're already a pro!).

2. Pocket Prep:  Make sure the pocket is tucked inside the blanket, not hanging out. Imagine it like a pants pocket that needs to be pushed in.

3. Fold in Thirds: Taking the long sides of the blanket, fold them in towards the middle. The pocket will help you eyeball where to make the folds. The edges will just slightly overlap in the middle. (not exact thirds.)

4. Halfway There:  Now fold the length of the blanket in half, leaving the top edge about 12 inches away from the bottom.

5. The Tricky Part:  Slide your hand inside the pocket (like reaching into your pants pocket). While your hand is inside the pocket and blanket, grab the top edge of the blanket (through the pocket and blanket material).

6. Pull it Through: Hold onto that top edge and pull it towards you, bringing the pocket out and now the folded side of the blanket is half way in the pocket. Imagine turning a pillowcase right-side out while pulling the pillow inside.

7. Flatten and Fold: Smooth out the pocket, and you'll see half the blanket is now tucked in. Simultaneously fold the blanket in half & stuff it into the pocket.

8. Bonus Pillow: Fluff the tucked-in part so that it is the desired shape.

9. Secure and Store: Fasten the toggle into the “D” ring if you want to keep it closed. You can even store small extras in the pocket, like sunglasses or snacks.

10. Unfold and Repeat: To use the blanket, just reverse the steps. Secure the pocket and handle back inside the blanket and fasten the toggle to keep them in place for a cleaner look when unfolded.
