Wasn't there a blanket like this in the (in-)famous bedroom scene of A Clockwork Orange?

Sorta like it, at least.

Speaking of which, anyone know where you can get those two Ludwig V. B. posters in that image?

All I could find was a disappointing mosaic version:

What's the advantage? I only see that it might "break" earlier because of many additional stitches, right?

Looks beautiful. Extra loft.

Is it just me, or is $250 pretty expensive for a blanket?

Yes, the Italian cashmere wool is quite expensive, as well as the shipping and customs fees out of Spain. I wish that I could sell it for cheaper!

Looks like it is cashmere, so no, not really as far as I've experienced.
