Now that the first hard freeze has settled in, it’s officially time for cozy season. Your woodpile is probably well-stocked at this point, and your fireplace or woodstove has been primed for plenty of use during the cold months. However, if you don’t have a hearth to curl up in front of (and even if you do), it’s hard to beat a comfortable, cozy throw blanket to burrow into until the spring thaw. From moody mohair to comfortable cashmere, here are ten editor’s picks to get you through the Maine winter.
