I bought one of these wool blankets when was in college in the early 80s. It is still as beautiful as the day I bought it. It is now on my daughter's bed, keeping her warm, just as it did for me when I lived in New England. I have only dry-cleaned it four times, as it has not needed it often. My blanket is a lovely, deep-red and green plaid. I highly recommend this blanket. It is not terribly thick, but it is very warm.
Started using this this winter. We quickly realized that it was very warm. We ended up taking off one of the blanket and a quilt to adjust for the warmth. This is great.
I just got this blanket and I love it! I never found it to have a funny smell at all..but washed it before using it anyways. Washed well. I dried it on the lowest setting and I saw no shrinkage or other problems. It is warm and cozy. I bought the King size in Acorn and it is beautiful and goes perfectly in our rustic home. I highly recommend this blanket..Worth every penny (even though I was able to get a promo sale price on it). Another winner from LLBean.
We bought one a few years ago, and loved it so we bought another. Both of those are on our bed right now, and good thing as the temperature is in the 20s. We just bought a third one for our granddaughter's room.
