Warning: These blankets smell heavily of naphthalene due to their storage with mothballs. The blankets have not been chemically treated. Normally, this penetrating odor can be eliminated with two cleanings.

odor is bad, but product is good value By simplyshawn from Berkshires on 03/12/2010 Best Uses: Spring/Fall, Winter Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These blankets are a good value but don't expect softness. They are mid-weight, rather coarse wool -- great for over your knees at a football game, for the car, or for twin beds in a seldom-used guest room, which is why I bought them. They arrived in perfect condition, but did have the strong mothball odor others complained about. Four or more days in strong wind out on my porch railing this late winter has removed most of the smell, so I folded them and put them in the guest room. I opened the door to this room the next day and the odor nearly knocked me out. It's still quite strong. As soon as the warmer weather arrives, out they will go again for additional airing. Otherwise, to the laundromat for a cold-wash cycle in the large machine.
By suzla from Mountains of California on 03/02/2010 Pros: Heavy wool great quality Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The mothball smell is very offensive, took a week to air out the basement where I washed them. But, once they were clean, they just smelled like nice wool. The color is not brown as described. Maybe they ran out of that color. It is more of a dark khaki color with a single wide stripe at either end which is not as white or distinct as in the picture. I hoped to hang these for curtains but the color was wrong and they are extremely heavy, which is terrific for blankets but not for curtains. I love the blankets as I love natural wool and am something of a blanket collector. Just wish they had been a nicer brown with white stripes.
By TMH from Asheville NC on 02/23/2010 Pros: Attractive Design, Comfortable Describe Yourself: Budget Shopper Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I like this blanket because it is made of natural
wool vs all the synthetic blankets. I like the color
and the weight of the blanket.
