Shi Shu Bamboo Blankets for Sensitive Skin

I love my mohair throw but after a while I sometimes end up with an itchy nose and watery eyes. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for people (and babies) with ultra-sensitive skin to find textiles that work for them.

Shi Shu Style comes to the rescue with beautiful blankets for grown-ups and children made of super-soft bamboo. The blankets are 100% natural, free of chemicals, and handwoven. The folks at Shi Shu explain that bamboo is antibacterial, soft as silk, keeps you cool in the Summer, keeps you warm in the Winter and most importantly, breathes.

You can buy Shi Shu blankets online at the Shi Shu Style Website (international shipping is available); keep an eye on the site for stockists near you. Thanks Donna for letting me know about this great product!
