is the wool not scratchy next to your skin?

No, not at all. The difference is the Merino wool. I do not wear anything wool because of the scratchy/itchy feeling. I have no problem with these on my legs.

This fabric is not soft but not as scratchy as a burlap either. It is a stiff fabric. I hope that helps?!

100% wool vs 80% wool. I have both and they are both warm. I guess price is the difference that I see.

I can't compare as I have never had any with wool, but these are okay, just don't stay warm very long and batteries need to be charged or replaced quite frequently. They are okay and I feel are worth the money I paid but I wouldn't recommend for really cold areas.

It's not scratchy. I don't use fabric softener and it's fine. With fabric softener I am sure it would be super soft!

Hi, I had 2 comforters for a year by now, and ordered another one recently. None of them got any problems with wool.

Not that I have ever noticed. My wool comforter is far better than any synthetic (and most down) comforters I have ever had.

Not that I'm aware of. It may be a discontinued product which would explain why it's not on their website. I happen to LOVE this comforter. It's neither too warm or too cold as wool should be.

It is washable and a little lofty. It shouldn't felt. I would suggest natural boiled wool that you can buy by the yard, that is what my daughter & I made into nursing pads for her. Holy Lamb organics or something like that was the name of the place in Eastern Washington.

I do not think there is any real wool, but it surely looks and feels like it. I am going to take them to Lapland (- 30 degrees Celsius) in two weeks I will

It's not wool...I'm very allergic and I do not react to it. it's like a cotton sweater that beads up when it's been washed a few times. That is the best way i can describe it.

Oh, really?! Mine isn't scratchy to me at all. I mean, it IS faux. It's not going to be anywhere near the kind of softness of real mink. This is really subjective, of course, but on a scale of 1-10 of softness, hmmm, I guess maybe I would give it a 7 or thereabouts. It's so hard to rate. As far as shedding, I've had absolutely no shedding. I think I read a review or two of people who had ordered this item before I did and they said there was some shedding. I just didn't experience any of that. I've had mine now for over a year I think and it's like brand new, no shedding and I just adore it. Hope that helps. :)

No it is not itchy. It is not worth the money. In my opinion you can purchase a more well made comforter at a local department store. Good luck. Joan M.

It is very soft, definitely not scratchy. I bought purple and it is so rich looking.

it does NOT itch to my wife or i. the bottom of the blanket feels like micro-fiber (very soft). the top is more like a combination micro fiber "silky" look and feel. the colors are very deep and rich and the set is very comfy. we have been very happy with it, hope that helps.

I haven't tried on wool. Since the material is a little damp, I would be concerned with colorfastness. Perhaps a spot check first.
