is this blanket woven good so it lasts.

The Italian Army blankets are a very tight weave. These blankets are "field" blankets designed for abusive conditions in the "field" These aren't officers blankets. They will last a lifetime with proper care. We sell these as well (a little less priced!) both laundered fully so they arrive clean and fresh, and not laundered.

I haven't used it yet, but it appears to be very heavy wool which is tightly woven.

Personally, I regretted buying it. It is a cheaper type of synthetic weave. I would suggest spending a little more money to purchase a better grade of weave. I had this as a sew in and it was done by a professional. However, I only kept it in for about 5 weeks because of the quality.

Yes, it is. I've washed snd dried it many times...cold water/med temp dryer. My husband and I love the blanket!

Not really. Washing would remove the dust treatment on the yarn.It has a dust wax on it so it will accumulate. Just shake it off as you go. It will last for years if you do not try to dust of dried on dirt. My first lasted 15 years or so.

This blanket is fiber reinforced mylar. With a little care it can be reused. I stapled 2 blankets together into a large "pocket" and have used it for a weather proof sleeping bag cover that has lasted for several years........Paul

Technically it is. Cook's Illustrated reviewed and stated that it would last longer if hand washed.

It doesn't seem to be too thin - pretty fluffy for how long? can't say - I made blanket and pillowcase for a young boy - he seems to love it. Hope this helps -

this is made out of synthetic fabric of relatively good construction that should withstand reasonable outdoor conditions. however, subjecting it to excessive winds, or wet freezing conditions will tear it apart just like everything else left outside. I would caution you that this type of fabric is not resistant to fading.

Its one of the most durable fabrics I've found. I've only had it one year. But its lasted through a hot summer and very cold montana winter with no problems. Still looks brand new really. i'm guessing 10 years. Which would be alot of time I'd think.

Yes I have washed it several times and it washes and dries well in the dryer. This is mostly due to the fact that it is very thin - more of a summer blanket than a winter one. I had to use a second comforter to deal with the colder weather this winter.

I bought this blanket few months ago, it works good for me, it's only have 1 setting, it doesn't get really hot, but that's what I need to cover from my waist down to my leg, because I have hot flushes, so I don't need to cover the whole body. Other people said there is odor come from the blanket, mine doesn't have any smell. I got the red plaid one. So far I'm happy with it

I have it and i am so glad I bought it. LOVE IT, washed it a few times and its still good so I dont know why other people say its fading.

Its a blanket, but thicker than others I have had. Blankets are not as thick. I think it is great and a great price

I washed my Faribault wool blanket and it came out great. Have not yet washed my 1950s vintage Hudson's Bay blanket but am now willing to try, based on the successful outcome.

Its not all that thick and heavy and its definitely more durable than felt; however "a woven plastic material" is not a good description of it either. Its more "solid" than "woven" and its not really like plastic. I have used several brands and types of landscape fabric and this is the most durable, long-lasting, and easy to work with of any.

mine is almost one year but still good. But it does be thin and that's why it's pretty. So just be careful when using and cleaning.

The answer to the question " Do the ends fray after washing?" no. I've been using these microfiber cloths for at least 4 months straight. I wash them practically on a daily basis. So far I have no complaints, they always seem to look like new after each wash. It's good quality microfiber.
