Customer Rating: Summary: Quite pleased, would purchase again... Comment: I read all the great reviews and bought 3 of these blankets! But the specs do say that it is 50x70...I am only 5ft so I thought it would cover me head to toe, but it did not. So 50x60 sounds more accurate. I was a bit disappointed by this. Also the green throw does not look like i appears on the web. The color is quite off. The others seem right on point however.
This is the softest, warmest, lightest, fluffiest blanket ever! I really do like them. So much in fact that I wound up opening the one I had planned on using for a gift. (But like I said the color was off anyway. I bought it for a gift for a friend having a baby. But the green was not the light sage color I expected... more of a dark olive.) I have one wrapped around me now while I type my review. They are really warm. One caveat, the air must be dry in our house because these blankets give off static cling sparks! Turn off the lights and it will really be a show!
Next purchase, a humidifier... Customer Rating: Summary: Pike Street Throw - There are two kinds! Comment: I just recieved my new Pike Street throws I bought in the Black Friday sale for $9.99. I also have the previous version which was sold 2006/2007. The reviews of this time period, of which I am one with 5 stars, were for the original throw. They were packaged in a white plastic bag. They were 50 X 70 inches. The new throws come in a clear plastic zippered bag and are 50 x 60 inches. The new throw colors have different names: Camel, Olive, Espresso, and Brick instead of Beige, Green, and Chocolate. If you see throws with the old names, I believe they will be more expensive. The new throws have a small rolled edge instead of the flat stitched edge. The stitching across the throw to make squares is farther apart in the new throws, making the squares larger. This could cause bunching after washing but I haven't washed them yet and cannot say for sure. The top 'suede-like' top fabric feels the same as the original throws and I find it very soft and appealing. The underside fabric is not as nice in the new throws. It is thinner and slicker. The old throw's underside fabric was more textured, almost slightly fuzzy feeling. I like the feeling of the old ones much better. I recieved the Camel, Olive and Brick and compared them to the Beige, Green, and Chocolate old throws. The thickness of the throws and the feel of the insides are the same. There is a slippery feel when you squeeze the insides between your fingers. I assume this is the poly-fill and the 'gel' that is supposed to be inside.
So, it boils down to two different throws. The new ones have rolled edges, less stitching, a less pleasant (but not UNpleasant) backing fabric, and is 10 inches shorter. I rated the new throws 4 stars instead of 5 because of the smaller size and less pleasant feel. Customer Rating: Summary: Warm but a little thin Comment: This was a great buy for $10-15. only complaint is that they are thinner than I wished, but if you pair this blanket up with a fleece blanket you will be plenty warm. I would compare this blanket to ones I found at Ikea for 40 dollars. I recommend this good deal here on Amazon.com. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent item, Great Price. Comment: WE have gone through a lot of these throw's...my kids just love them.
I am, in fact, writing this review before even receiving this item. WHY, because we have owned this particular one for a long time and 2 other colors also... They TAKE abuse, keep the kids warm, and feel very very cuddly.
These are regulars in our home and thus I wanted to let everyone know that it is a great product at a great AMAZON price.....
Enjoy!
Happy Holidays. Customer Rating: Summary: so warm! Comment: This is such a light small comforter, that at first I was very disappointed. However, when I actually slept with it I realized that it is incredibly warm! I love it and would recommend it to anybody.
