Point Blanket – A Canadian Icon of Warmth and Tradition

The point blanket is one of the most recognizable symbols of Canadian heritage. Known for its thick wool weave and signature coloured stripes, this timeless blanket blends warmth, craftsmanship, and history.

What Is a Point Blanket?

A point blanket is traditionally made from 100% wool and marked with a series of black lines—called points—woven or stitched into one edge. These points originally indicated the blanket’s size and weight during the 18th‑century fur trade era. Durable, breathable, and luxuriously warm, it remains a beloved piece of Canadiana.

Heritage of the Point Blanket in Canada

The point blanket became famous through its connection with the Hudson’s Bay Company in the late 1700s. These blankets were traded with Indigenous communities and settlers alike and came to represent quality and endurance. Today, they’re treasured as heirlooms and home décor pieces that celebrate Canada’s rich history.
