The blanket is worth purchasing if you want the advantages of a wool blanket, but also need something budget friendly.Relatively speaking, the blanket is warm, soft, and light weight. The size of the blanket is larger enough to comfortably cover two adults, possibly three.Out of the package the blanket did have the order that is mentioned in most of the other reviews, however, I didn’t think it was too extreme. As soon as I opened the package I removed and unfolded the blanket, took it out in my backyard and put it out on the clothes line for about 10 hours of sunshine and fresh air. After airing out the blanket, I washed it according to the directions on the tag, and then put it in the dryer with a few scented dryer sheets, and that got rid of the “gasoline” oder.The biggest negative with this blanket is that it peels and sheds quite a bit on the first couple of washes. Also, the stitching isn’t the highest quality, but I don’t think it is too much of a concern; I think if you really wanted to you could just reinforce the corners with a quick stitch. Also keep in mind that this blanket is not as thick as the military issued wool blankets.My opinion is that this is The Wool Blanket to use for: Emergencies, Tailgating, Camping, keep in the vehicle for road trips, a blanket for use at the outdoor range, etc. If you want something more luxurious: pay more money amd get a pre washed Wool Blanket.
