Another reviewer mentioned an odor. Sorry for his/her experience, but happily my blanket has no aroma at all. Much lighter than my LLBean Plaid comforter, i.e., more comfortable to sleep under, yet breathes so I don't get too warm (as with the comforter). I'm very happy with it!
I ordered two blankets in the foggy blue color to accent the braided rug in the guest bedroom. Not only are the blankets warm and incredibly soft, they match perfectly with the rug!
I purchased this blanket 2 years ago. I keep it on my bed all year long. In the summer it's good for a cool night and in the winter it is perfect for under a down comforter. I like the weight - this is not a "heavy" feeling blanket, but it is very warm. It washes great and I have not noticed that "wool" smell that others talk about. Also, the blanket is very generous in size, easily covers the bed and more.
THIS IS THE PERFECT WEIGHT WOOL BLANKET AND IT IS NOT ITCHY! I STILL HAVE THE BLANKET FROM MY AND MY BROTHER'S BABY CARRIAGES (I AM 47, HE IS 50!) THAT IS IN PERFECT SHAPE, AND I DO NOT EXPECT THIS ONE TO BE ANY DIFFERENT! LINUS WOULD LOVE THIS!
