    To be honest, if you guys are looking for a Canadian made blanket and willing to pay double perhaps looking at another source might be best. Ie: The Bay, etc. I think the idea here is to provide an awesome wool blanket for the absolute lowest price possible....

    No offense or harm to anyone intended. Just my take on what Can Am is trying to do here.
    Cheers

    Very true!! And if they can it would be fantastic!

    I'm merely suggesting the number one selling feature that people seem to be thrilled about is the price, that's all.

    What kind of wool is it going to be? how are the blanket going to be made, knitted, woven, felted? Lanolin stripped or not. Virgin wool or recycled?
    I'm interested, depending on the product.

    Wouldn't that be great. Won't happen as Canada does not allow exploitation of people nor environment.

    Revolvers RULE; remember that next time you BEND over to pick up brass OR ejected brass pings off the precision gear.
    Looking for a car pool buddy for weekly weekday trips from Burnaby to POCO. Better yet I'll drive weekly and you take me hunting.

    No, but there is still time to exploit both if we put our heads together!

    If you give me the name of your local woolen mill, I will ask them for a quote.

    The wool shop in Vancouver off Main Street might be a place to contact. They bring in raw wool and have a massive carding machine from the late 1800's that they use to process it.

    Might be a starting point.
