Threads Digital Ambassador Marcy Harriell recently shared her experience making a blanket coat inspired by Harper’s Bazaar columnist Diana Vreeland’s question,  “Why Don’t You . . . travel with a little raspberry cashmere blanket to throw over yourself in hotels and trains?” Marcy used New Look 6585, but we’ve found a few more options for you to try.
