# Organic Weighted Blankets 'Silk & Snow' Launched New Handwoven Organic Weighted Blanket By Colin Smith | Published 2021-11-30 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-weighted-blankets References: [silkandsnow](https://www.silkandsnow.com/en-ca/) & [silkandsnow](https://www.silkandsnow.com/en-ca/handwoven-weighted-blanket/)  While weighted blankets have gained popularity in the last few years, there has yet to be a push for true organic weighted blankets. '[Silk & Snow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silk-snows-terry-robe)' has tackled this task by releasing a handwoven weighted blanket made out of 100% cotton, making it far more sustainable than traditional weighted blankets. Standard weighted blankets use synthetic covers filled with small beads, which involve a large number of unsustainable materials. The Silk & Snow weighted blanket is available in 8lbs, 15lbs, 20lbs, and 25lbs weights, and has nine color options such as gray, blue, brown, and pink. Additionally, the 100% cotton build of the blanket allows them to breathe through the holes, so consumers will not get too hot or sweaty. The smallest 8lb blanket has a convenient travel pouch, and all sizes of the blanket are machine washable on cold water.
