Original Full/Queen Blanket, Ivory

So pleased to be able to replace my 18 year old previous vellum blanket that was bought in USA. So thin on the bed and yet toasty warm.

Ever since my mother first bought one of these for us decades ago I have loved these blankets like no other. They're thick without being heavy and very warming in layers with a duvet over them.I don't know why people are mentioning a smell. There is no smell. But then the first thing I do with these is wash and dry them. On that first wash and dry there's a bit of fluff that comes off in the dryer filter, and presumably whatever smells people are mentioning. After that they're soft, and even though I generally live a life of luxury in most things around me, I really can't stand heavy blankets or things feeling weighted down on my feet while in bed, and these are my favorite.Absolutely perfect.I would have preferred plain white, but I'll settle for Ivory since they don't seem to make it.From years of experience I know these will last for years.I replaced an older one in the green color because I prefer more neutral colors, but that blanket is still going. When you wash and dry it and fold it it's fairly thick and makes a fantastic place (when folded) for the cat to sleep in comfort. He loves it, and the blanket isn't so precious or expensive that I can't take it out in the garden and put it on my teak bench so he can lay on it outside. He loves it there too.Highly recommended, and like all things manufactured, I would definitely encourage anyone to wash and dry before using to remove any trace of chemicals (and odor) involved in the production process.

Excelente manta ligera para días no tan frio o fresca para el calor, un tamaño bastante cómodo. No tiene la textura de una manta de felpa o polar, parece algo más tecnológico incluso sintetico pero de gran calidad. El único pero es que al lavarla para el primer uso suelta muchas fibras, algo totalmente normal en una manta nueva, así que prepárate con tu escoba, aspiradora o plumero.

I live in a cool climate, but it seldom gets to freezing. In the mid 30's F., I need a second blanket or duvet in addition to the Vellux. It's the perfect weight Spring through early Autumn. I became acquainted with Vellux blankets in my career as a quality auditor for hotels, checking standards, cleanliness and condition of guest rooms. These originals are made of nylon fiber injected through a sheet of reinforced urethane foam. They resist and release soils and stains easily in the wash, they dry far more quickly than cotton, they are light, warm, soft, and durable if cared for properly. They never pill like cotton and polyester do. They do not wear well if abused with high heat and over drying. I dry mine on an apartment clothes rack. I still have two chocolate colored Vellux blankets I have used for over 16 years that show no sign of wear yet. If the label lists polyester at all, then it is NOT an original Vellux blanket and will not perform or wear with the quality attributes of the original Vellux.

Me encanta la suavidad y el calorcito que da en epoca de frio
