I love lambswool ruanas from Kerry Woollens Mills, Ireland. Over the years, I have bought about a dozen in different colours -- and layer them in the winter. Three layered will get me through below zero temps, no problem. They are very light and really warm, love them so much more than a coat. And now, winter is on our doorstep.
So I took my oldest one, and gave it to Pepper. She sleeps under it all night, and it's handy to drape over her each day in her special office chair -- beside me at my computer.
Below are links to three of my favourite colours of ruana; you might also find these in local Celtic stores, I saw them in several when I travelled to Ireland in 2005. The Kerry folks are a treat to work with as well, I've had several phone and email connections with them over the years.

Attached is a relaxed photo of Pepper, stretched out on the carpet. And a couple of her underneath her wonderful ruana -- just took these today with the sun coming in.

Lead me down all the right paths,
Keep me from fleas, bees, and baths.
Let me in should it storm,
Keep me safe, fed, and warm.
