Hand-woven Bedspread Celtic Pattern (India)

Rating

I wanted an Irish theme to my bedroom w/o looking like a green shamrock. I loved how this looked on the computer. I had read the reviews - had some reservations but dediced it was worth the risk and ordered it. It is beautiful. The colors are just I as thought they would be. I love the "handmade" and "imperfect" look of it. That's it's appeal to me. I read that it was light weight and that's just what I wanted - I'm not using it as a bedspread. I am very pleased with my purchase.

This Celtic bedspread is breathtakingly beautiful. In looks, is far outranks the asking fee. The blending of the rich purple, as it deeply moves into the blue is amazing. All of the colors are woven in together with style that permits them to give each justice. The border work is tight, not at all loose as I feared it might be. I must confess, it was not purchased or is it being used, as a bedspread. I do get stopped, frequently, by strangers, full of questions. They reach out to touch it, wondering where it came from. I wear it, folded from the center, creating a huge triangle, as a shawl. It works for me, without a doubt. It is delightful to share where it came from, and watch others scribble down the information. I have already had a close friend of many years coo over it, for she was the one to open the package on the day it arrived. Then, when she saw the price, she grabbed the lap top and ordered one. I am 6'1", she is 5' 4'. She too uses hers as a shawl. Why not? It is warm, comfortable, cozy, does all that it is supposed to do, fits all sizes, can even tuck the kids up under as need be. Why purchase a coat? This is excellent!

Pretty colors, nice throw or wall hanging as a bedspread seems too small

I knew when I recieved this in the mail that it was on the thin side. The design on it is beautiful. I bought two of these, one for my sister and one for my cousin. My sister and cousin both put them on their beds as decoration but not for any utilitarian purpose like warmth. They are just pretty blankets but if you are looking for something to cover your bed, unless you are looking for a twin size..this may not be for you. They would make nice wall decorations too, especially if you are a Celtic lover. I'd purchase this again purely for the beauty aspect and not because I needed a new blanket to keep me warm at night.
