What’s in a name? Chappaquiddick—or “Chappy,” to locals—is a special place on Martha’s Vineyard. It’s a sanctuary for those who love the beauty of nature, and its ability to reconnect us. In 2006, our founding offices were just a quick ferry from Chappy, making ChappyWrap a fitting name for a blanket that softens surroundings and makes moments memorable.

experience the softness of cotton

When it comes to comfort against the skin, all-natural cotton ranks highest in popularity amongst all fibers. Our cotton blend blankets feel plush and soft—they’re incredibly warm, without a lot of weight.

a blend that’s made to last

ChappyWraps are made from a blend of 58% premium cotton fibers, 35% acrylic, and 7% polyester. The quality is unparalleled. Our unique blend allows for repeated washing while maintaining an extra soft feel. It also ensures our blankets are resistant to shrinking, pilling, and static.

where the magic happens

To make our fabric, individual yarns are twisted and fed into our Jacquard looms so that the cotton is next to your skin, with the fill fiber spun inside the cotton yarns, for durability and to prevent yarn breakage. This unique weave is why your ChappyWrap can last lifetime, and always look as great as the first day you snuggled under it.

reversible designs, for even more versatility!

While the term "Jacquard" is often thought of as a type of woven fabric, it is also the name of the mechanical loom used to produce ChappyWraps. Jacquard weaves are easy to recognize because they bear intricate, reversible designs on each side, all while maintaining a strong construction.

nap time!

After the weaving process on our Jacquard loom, the fabric must undergo napping. Napping is what gives ChappyWraps their soft, plush finish. The process involves lifting the fibers from the top of the pattern and passing the woven fabric over a roller with metal points or burrs. This finishing process is what distinguishes ChappyWrap blankets from other Jacquard woven blankets. Then, we double down by repeating this step anywhere from 8 to 16 times, making our napped ChappyWraps even softer and fuller.

From our family to yours...

Years ago, our family owned a cozy, reversible, extra-large, cotton-blend blanket woven with a lamb design. It was so well-loved that it became vital to our family and home. When we weren’t feeling well, it was the only blanket that always made us feel better. We curled up with it (and fought over it!), finding comfort in it daily.

The original lamb blanket became something of a family heirloom. But years later, when we wanted to buy a similar blanket, we couldn’t find a single one that even came close to our first blanket’s warmth, size and durability. Everything out there lacked the quality of the original—so we decided to create our own.

We set out on a mission to produce high-quality blankets made from a plush, natural-cotton blend and high-performance fibers, versus those constructed solely of synthetic fibers like polyester or polar fleece. Our quest for perfection led us to a factory in Germany known for heirloom-quality products (they hand-inspect each blanket before it ships!), where ChappyWrap’s unique jacquard designs are woven today.

Founded in 2006, ChappyWrap is a family-run business—we’re a mother-daughter team. When people ask us why we do what we do, our answer is simple: We want to spread comfort to everyone, everywhere with the world’s best blankets.

When you have a ChappyWrap, no matter where you are—you’re home.

With warmth and love,
