FWIW, wool comes in so many types types of weaves, fineness, thicknesses, etc that's it's not really accurate to summarize most wool things as scratchy. Is a worsted wool suit scratchy? Flannel pants? Merino sweaters? Cuddly lambs? I suppose any of those things could be scratchy, but wool is a very diverse fiber that's used in lots of different ways so it's can't really be put into one category.
EDIT - just read lots of reviews, and everyone says these are indeed itchy and scratchy wool.
Best avoid and ONLY buy a real 100% woolen blanket. Always avoid man-made nylons/polyester materials.
Funny how they're trying to frame this blanket as "Civil War" yet during that actual time period there was no manufacture of Nylon in any factory around the globe (fact).
Adding synthetics to a natural fiber does not automatically make it itchy, that's just not how textiles work (it certainly can, but it's more complicated than that). Wool can be scratchy on its own or it can be smooth or it can be many other textures depending on the fibers used and how it is milled, processed, woven. The same goes for synthetics. Happy to explain further if that helps.
If you want a 100% wool blanket, I encourage you to grab one, but know that many 'camp blankets' like this (ones that are meant for outdoor use) are not pure wool to improve durability. This is the case with Pendleton as well - those are usually around 85% wool / 15% cotton.
Maybe you should tell Woolrich to either make 100% real Wool Blanket or blend it with Cotton to make it really comfortable on naked skin.
