l. Sourcing & Materials

We source and design our blankets using fibres that make you say, “Wow, that’s soft.” Whether it’s Australian merino wool or expertly engineered faux fur, every Normy blanket starts with the best materials. We work with partners who keep things clean, transparent, and kind—to people and the planet.

ll. Manufacturing

Fewer steps, less waste, and a lot of [care]. Our blankets are designed in Cambridge, Canada, then made by real people who know a thing or two about comfort (and a lot about blankets). We skip the fluff and put craftsmanship first, keeping our eyes on what matters: lasting quality, not shortcuts.

lll. Making It Better

We’re always searching for better ways—smarter production methods, less resource-intensive textiles, and thoughtful dyeing and finishing practices. Smarter production means softer blankets and lighter footprints. Less is more—less resources, less energy, and more comfort for you.

lV. Caring For Your Normy

Sustainability is a partnership. Caring for your Normy extends the life of your blanket, keeps it looking and feeling its best, and reduces unnecessary energy and water use. Because caring for what you own is the heart of sustainable living.

V. Packaging

FSC certified, recycled, recyclable—always.
