By Letter Carrier from Columbus, OH on 01/28/2009 Cons: Poor Quality, Uncomfortable Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Have purchased from Sierra Trading Post for years. This is the worst product that I have ever purchased. These blankets simply stink of mothballs. The smell is so strong that I was forced to leave the blankets outside for 2 1/2 weeks of winter weather. Horrible buy even if they are free.
By running always from South Portland Maine on 01/28/2009 Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I was very unhappy with the heavy mothball smell on the product. I have hung it up outside and run it through the dryer several times but the smell is still there.
Next time I'll learn from others... By Becky Homecky from New York on 01/28/2009 Cons: Difficult to Clean, Uncomfortable Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Unfortunately, I went ahead and purchased this blanket even though there were SO MANY negative comments about it. After receiving the blanket, I went ahead and washed it (I was only going to use it as an extra blanket to use on really cold winter nights, so shrinkage was not going to be an issue), and I think that made the odor of moth balls even worse. I tried everything from putting vinegar in the wash and rinse cycles (I did that three times) to using the odor eliminator we use on our pets messes (that I tried with two wash/rinse cycles), but it was to no avail. The blanket remains on the front porch, until I can figure out another method of eliminating the odor of moth balls. It's been over two weeks since all those washings, and our basement still smells of moth balls... oh well.. live and learn!

Heavy weight but a bit stiff By tankawooney from Cleveland, Ohio on 01/28/2009 Best Uses: Spring/Fall, Winter Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This blanket is heavyweight and warm. I don't really like the stiffness, but am hoping it will soften with use.
By NY Bargain Lady from Rochester, NY on 01/28/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Great size, Toasty Warm Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This was a great buy. It is more than spacious enough for a picnic during the summer and warm enough to keep the chill out at Spring and Autumn sporting events. It's even a great extra blanket for the really cold nights.

Real wool - but hard, musty army surplus By Ray from Maryland on 01/27/2009 Cons: Difficult to Clean, Hard heavy, Musty smell, Uncomfortable Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This is the very same blanket that i had purchased a year ago from an army surplus dealer. It's real wool and warm, alright...but the description should have mentioned that it was Italian army surplus that has been stored since the 1950's and is there fr hard, heavy and musty smelling. Still a good value for the price---if you are aware of these characteristics. I had hoped to use them as yoga blankets and they are really nt soft enough for that.
By nfl from Upstate New York on 01/27/2009 Pros: Very heavy beautiful wool Cons: Bad odor, Difficult to Clean Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I have read the other reviews but have yet to rid the blanket of the odor. I will keep washing it and try different methods and get back to the reviews.
By Bob the Kayaker from Beverly, MA on 01/26/2009 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable Describe Yourself: Midrange Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: We purchased this to use in our F150 pickup for those cold New England mornings and evenings. The seats are vinyl and need a touch of warmth. the blanket is perfect!!!
