If you are in need of a good wool blanket, consider Alpaca. It is lighter and yet warmer than sheep's wool. These blankets are a blend of Alpaca and Merino wool. They are soft as cashmere and very warm. Some people say that they are five times warmer than a sheeps wool blanket of similar thickness. I don't know about that, but in my opinion, Alpaca is definitely warmer.
There are two basic types: the Military Banderitas and the lighter, throw type (which has more Alpaca content).
The Banderitas are for buschcraft--they are extremely warm. They do shed for the first couple months. Putting them in the dryer on a NO HEAT cycle helps. I have had mine since last winter. It barely sheds at all now. I recommend Queen size for the field.
The lighter ones are also very warm for their thickness. They would make excellent Elven Cloaks.
I have blankets from a number of well known mills--including a Hudson Bay Company blanket. I think that these Alpacas are superior to them. I have both types and use them most every night (except in the summer). Many people up here in the US don't know about Alpaca yet, so they are only a fraction of the price of the more well known brands. This is the best deal of the year offered by this company. The sale is listed as through midnight 11/26/16, but they have extended sales in the past.
