As with all 100% wool blankets, I wouldn't regularly use it on bare skin. It is very smooth. A very nice weight

To be honest I bought mine for emergencies so I have not used it yet. However, it did seem to be itchy. I think most wool is unless you are buying cashmere. I could be mistaken. I hope this helps you. I highly recommend buying this blanket regardless as they do not make them of this quality anymore.

This is my first wool blanket. It doesn't bother me at all. The smell will need to be addressed. I hand washed and hung outside for 2 days. Smell is gone.

It is itchy. It's wool. Kept me warm in a deer stand with 9* windchill though. Heavy but warm. If you don't want itchy, find alpaca wool. Hard to find on Internet.

It does itch. It's a good idea to wear clothing when you use this blanket. It's really warm, but does itch.

I took this blanket straight out of the package and gave it to a guest and there was zero shedding. I then put it on my bed and still, no shedding.

No it's thickness is actually pretty decent and I will sometimes use it as my primary blanket when I sleep so I don't think it's itchy at all.

I'll try it on my dog this evening and see. It worked really well to keep our dog away from her midsection and bum after surgery, but I can't recall if she could itch her face or not. Will get back to you this evening.

I use it directly on my table with no problem. It is a Sierra Comfort to have an idea of type of table. I then put a fitted sheet over the heated blanket and then a table sheet over that, that I switch each time. The extra sheet between keeps oil off the blanket. Hope this helps!

BTW, mine is soft, warm and the fur is in tact. I even machine was and dry it. The person who complained may have bought a cheap knock off. We have 5 blankets and they are great! Amazon seems to be cheaper than Ebay on these. Also, if u search fleece u may get the short fur or flannel type blankets.

My daughter has not complained about it being itchy or hot. We ordered the purple butterfly one and love it.

the controler failed & the company sent out a new one no questions asked. is it worth the money? well, i like the idea that the heat is produced w/12volts not 120. it does not heat up like ac tpyes but does get very warm. i like to turn of the blanket on before going to bed to give the blanket a chance to heat up the bed. the wire in the blanket is thin & the blanket is of very good quality. i would recommend this blanket only if you have concerns w/ sleeping w/ a blanket w/ 120 volts pulsing through it so closing to your body.

I've had it over a year & I love it. It's very soft & comfy.It works better than any electric blanket I've ever had!!

Yes you can. I was told to wash in on gentle and low heat to dry. My wife loves her blanket (pictured above) of our boys. It's is more the work every penny, plus the seller goes above and beyond to make sure it's the way you want it. I'll be doing a lot more business with her. They also print on a lot more items than just blankets. Hope this helps. Danny

Would like to clear this up. This is not a product that causes 'heating or tingling or burning' of any kind. When you apply it, it will feel like the product is 'sitting' on your skin. It is done for a reason, so you don't have to use any cling wrap or any other props to make it work. Some people feel it more and some less. It's totally normal. When you put your clothes on, the areas of application will feel warmer and probably a little more sweat prone. This is just how it works. That's what we call a 'sauna' effect.

This blanket does not shed. I'm not sure what the difference in material is. This one is got some nap to the fur but not like the faux fur blankets out there. It's not that long nor does it shed. Thanks.

I don't know the answer to that.i can tell you it is a warm visually soothing blanket,not meant for biting or wrestling with.my 7 year old granddaughter lays with it while watching her shows at night or morning.my 3 and a half month old niece gets all excited just touching the colors.it is pretty,it is cool but not something to use to walk around with as a blankie,unless they are old enough.

You may want to stick with the blanket Idea. I have not found a great option for mine either. Sorry for the bad news.

It will make your skin itchy. Last time I used this it took 2 years for the itching to go away from it. I went to 6 drs and the er and figured out it was from this product. It even bleeched my skin on my scalp. I followed directions very carefully and everything. Now I have over $6000.00 in medical bills just because this product. No wonder its discontinued.

It helped me! I mixed it with a very thick body butter and it applied very nicely. I took this in conjunction with Ivermectin. My only advice is not to leave it on more than 14 hours. I had spot treated a few itchy bites that were left over and forgot to wash it off after 14 hrs, so it caused some itching and burning, but it immediately stopped after washing it off.

Not yet. Good blanket, very pleased. Used with cover top so that wouldn't be a major issue for me anyway.
