Hooded Wearable Blanket

Every ordinary throw has the same flaw: it slides off the moment you stand up to put the kettle on. This hooded wearable blanket from Velora stays put. It pulls on over your head like an oversized fleece, covers you to below the knee, and leaves your hands free for a book, a mug of tea or the remote. It is the most comfortable way to stay warm in a chilly house.

The fleece is brushed soft on the inside and hard wearing on the outside, cut deliberately loose so it traps a layer of warm air rather than clinging. The hood makes a real difference on cold evenings, and the large front pocket takes a phone and both hands at once. Eight colours are available in one generous size, which makes it an easy gift when you do not know exact measurements.

Because it goes on over whatever you are wearing, it works as an extra layer for working from home, film nights and weekend mornings. Machine wash cool and tumble dry on low, and it will stand up to frequent washing through the colder months. It is loose synthetic clothing, so keep it well away from hobs, open fires, heaters and candles, and take it off before cooking.
