This is a beautiful little baby blanket with a wonderful, springy, three-dimensional texture to the weave. The contrast stitching is lovely too. I am always drawn to Disana's colours, but after much deliberation chose the Anthracite/Grey and love it. Makes an ideal snuggle blanket for the newborn days, and the weave has amazing stretch and spring to it so I also used it as a swaddle of sorts for my mid-winter baby in those cold early months. The size makes it ideal as a stroller blanket too (we used it inside our stroller bag for extra warmth). Do take extra care with washing this one though, as it felts very easily. I'm fairly experienced with wool and hand washed it, but in those foggy post-partum days I made the mistake of gently spinning the water out in our machine, with the blanket in a mesh bag, and I totally felted it. It shrank and lost some of its wonderful elasticity, but we still use it regularly. Just bummed at my mistake...

I'm back to write a second review. I've been using this blanket non-stop for the past two weeks. Originally I thought I'd be using it in the car seat but the luxurious wool and subtle stretch has made this the perfect swaddle blanket for my newborn. It is so cozy. My sister immediately bought one for her son after seeing how great mine was.Would be a great gift for a new parent. Great value for the quality.

I ordered the dark grey version for my winter baby due in mid October. It is luxurious and the trim is particularly nice. Plus, it works great as a scarf! It's dual purpose so once my baby outgrows it it'll be my turn to use it.
