I have always wanted to have a wool blanket for my bed at home. I just didn't want to pay the ridiculous prices that they go for. Because of this, I did some research and reviews and came across this Arcturus blanket. The price was pretty great, so I decided to buy it as my first entry level wool blanket. I am glad I did. I am pleasantly surprised with the quality and softness of this blanket. Once you get under it, you get warm within several minutes. I am looking forward to using this, this winter with the Midwest winters and snow that I currently live in. I would recommend this blanket to anyone looking for a first blanket, as I was, and I would buy this blanket again if I had to do it all over again. Plus the customer service and shipping were very excellent and very fast. I will be doing business again with Arcturus again in the future.
It’s a nice warm heavy blanket! The weight of it is impressive, honestly it’s a little like a weighted blanket. Ours did smell a little bit like a 3rd world manufacturing factory out of the bag… that kerosene heat smell..? It was ok after a ride in the dryer with a couple dryer sheets and airing out for a couple nights. I guess I could have washed it but I didn’t have any of that lanolin wash stuff on hand. I would certainly buy it again and recommend it to a friend or relative, in fact I already have.
