I have several wraps and blankets that have been given to me over the years because everyone in our family knows how I tend to stay cold. I was surprised when my daughter sent me another blanket wrap for my birthday this year, but as the weather has turned cold, it has quickly become my favorite.
This wrap shawl is so lightweight that I can walk around with it around my shoulders without feeling weighted down by a heavy blanket, but it is still very warm. It is the softest wrap I have ever owned. It has buttons if I wish to button it closed, which is a huge positive and something unique to this specific shawl.
It also has two large pockets which is really awesome! I frequently drop my cell phone in my pocket so I can keep it with me.
The shawl is on single flat piece that will stretch across the back of a couch like a throw blanket. I especially like this feature because I don't need to hang this shawl in a closet for storage.
The Fleece Wrap Shawl with Buttons & Pockets
There are several attributes of this wrap shawl that I love. Because it can lay flat, as shown in my picture above, it doubles as a lap blanket. It is long enough that I can wrap it around my shoulders, cover my chest and the top of my legs when sitting down.
Since it is a flat piece and not a jacket with sleeves, it can be folded flat and smooth for storage during the summer months if desired.
As I mentioned in the introduction, I especially like being able to button it if I want to walk to the mailbox or open the front door to visitors. That coverage keeps me warm without having to put on a coat.
The pockets provide warmth for my hands as well as a place to carry my cell phone.
