The Wind River flows from the Continental Divide through cold, windy alpine tundra, down through protected groves of aspen, spruce, and pine, and across wildflower-covered meadows before joining other rivers on its meandering descent to the ocean. Bring fresh mountain style to your living room or bedroom with this unique weighted blanket.

When made with the recommended Hoooked Zpagetti 100% recycled fiber yarn, this blanket weighs 18 pounds (8 kg).

Feel free to use a lighter weight yarn and a smaller hook to make a more traditional blanket. Or use an even smaller hook to make the rug variation.
