Wrapped in Warmth: How Our Wool Blankets Bring Comfort During Chemotherapy

A Blanket of Comfort, A Gesture of Care

At Prince of Scots and Southampton Home, we’ve always believed that luxury is more than style—it’s how something makes you feel. Over the years, we've heard moving stories from our customers who have gifted our blankets to loved ones undergoing chemotherapy. These thoughtful gestures remind us that comfort can be both physical and emotional—and in moments of vulnerability, it can mean everything.

Wool as Nature’s Nurturer

Wool, especially the fine Shetland and Merino fibers used in our collections, offers unique qualities that make it particularly comforting during medical treatments:

• Naturally Temperature Regulating: Wool helps the body maintain a comfortable temperature, offering gentle warmth without overheating—a soothing feature for those experiencing temperature sensitivity during chemotherapy.

• Breathable and Lightweight: Soft against the skin yet insulating, our blankets provide just the right amount of coziness without heaviness.

• Hypoallergenic and Chemical-Free: We source high-quality wool that’s gentle for sensitive skin and free from harsh chemicals—ideal for those with heightened sensitivities during treatment.

• A Sense of Security: The act of being wrapped in something beautiful and well-crafted offers not just warmth, but a tangible sense of being cared for.

Gifts That Speak Without Words

Sometimes, the right gift isn’t flashy—it’s quietly powerful. A wool blanket, lovingly given, says: I’m thinking of you. I want you to be comfortable. I want you to feel strong.

We’ve seen our Highland Tweeds Antique Hunting Stewart throw offered as a heritage keepsake, our pink Southampton Home Merino Lambswool blankets gifted as symbols of hope, and our bold tartans wrapped around patients as a reminder of strength and identity.

The BIG Throw is extra large and perfect size to cover the body in comfort.  The blanket is wool but easy care. Machine wash cold and tumble dry air with no heat.

Stories That Inspire Us

One customer wrote to say her sister brought her favorite Southampton Home blanket to every infusion session. Another shared that their Prince of Scots tartan throw became a staple at home recovery, helping bring beauty and calm to each day. These aren’t just blankets—they become a part of the healing ritual.

The Southampton Home Leaf Throw is Extra Large and our best selling throw for those seeking extra comfort and care.
