Four Seasons Italian Washable Wool Blanket

We live in inland SoCal and are always dealing w/rapidly changing temps. My husband and I were never comfy with past acrylic blankets and poly-fill comforters-too hot in summer (even winter too), no temp regulation until I got this blanket. The wool really regulates your body temp, it breathes. We paired it with 300 count egyptian cotton sheets, a thin plain cotton woven blanket and a Croscill cotton quilted mattress cover over a 3 lb. 3 inch Bodipedic memory foam topper-all bought on Overstock. We have never slept better, no waking up sweating, no back aches, no cold spots, just warm and comfy all night. This woven blanket is thin-medium weight and is NOT thinly woven at all, there is a good tight weave to it. It is not the softest blanket (not scatchy-itchy either) though I don't care because it doesn't touch my skin, it's the top layer. We got the Burgundy color which is a true rich burgundy color and goes nicely w/ our mocha sheets. For a washable wool this is a Best Buy and I will never be going back to artificial fibers for my bedding. I'm planning on getting my kids these blankets too!

Good deep color and good weight, not heavy wool. Downside is that this blanket pills badly and sheds fibers heavily when washed. My bedroom is littered with residue from this blanket even though I gently washed it in cold water with a wool detergent. Too bad.

This blanket has stitched thread at borders, not fringe as depicted in photo. Satin binding would have added to the appeal. Wool is woven more loosely than better quality blankets. If it was less than $100, perhaps it would be a good buy.

Well, for me this blanket is so lightweight it is only good in summer, Even the weave of the wool is very open and airy. They skimped on finishing the edges of the blanket also. Not very impressed with this product.
