How big are Biquette Blankets?
Our knit Throw Blankets are 50 by 60 inches, full size for draping over a couch, an armchair, or the end of a bed. In comparison, our Midi Blankets are 36 by 48 inches and Mini Blankets are 30 by 40 inches.
Why choose cotton?
Cotton is a good choice when you want a blanket that's breathable, soft against the skin, and comfortable throughout the year. We take that a step further by only using premium cotton fibers like Egyptian cotton for a smoother finish and subtle sheen or organic cotton for a softer, more matte feel.
What's the difference between Egyptian cotton and organic cotton?
Egyptian cotton refers to cotton grown in Egypt. We intentionally use long-staple Giza 86 Egyptian cotton which makes a smoother yarn with fine stitch definition. Organic cotton describes how the fiber is grown rather than the origin, and these usually leave softer, matte finishes.
Choosing between the two doesn't necessarily mean a trade-off in quality, especially as we also use organic cotton and Egyptian cotton blends for the best of both worlds.
We go through each of the fiber differences (cotton vs. wool vs. synthetics), how Biquette uses these premium fibers, and what that means for you in a luxurious knit blanket: https://biquette.com/blogs/journal/best-fibers-for-knit-blankets
There's too many options, how do I decide between blankets and brands?
It's important to consider a blanket's fiber grade, size, design, construction, and finishing to decide whether a blanket will last with great quality and stay luxurious.
We've written a blanket buyer's guide around those 5 items (including an important distinction between knits and woven blankets) with a TLDR here: https://biquette.com/blogs/journal/how-to-choose-a-knit-throw-blanket
What are they made from?
All Throw Blankets (and every other Biquette knit) are fully made in small-batches and knitted fully in our Long Island facility with premium, luxurious natural fibers like super soft Egyptian cotton, organic cotton, and extra-fine merino wool.
These fibers are specifically chosen to be gentle and soft against skin, durable through plenty of washing, and provide a subtle luxurious quality that you can tell an immediate difference against synthetic fibers.
After knitting, everything is carefully hand steamed, packaged.
Who designs the patterns?
Our knit designs are intentionally curated and created in collaboration with independent artists, so each piece is an original work you won't find anywhere else.
