“I love this blanket. I think it’s probably one of the nicest things I own. I wear it, or I used to wear it in the house. But my house is too hot. The friends that I live with can’t cope with the house being slightly cool, they don’t put on an extra jumper.

I never wore wool before I came to this country, I had no appreciation for it and the fact that I actually really physically do want to turn the dial down because of wool, I want the heat to be less in the house because I want to be able use this wonderful blanket. That’s really good, coming from an American used to really warm homes.”
