Something happened recently. I'm not sure what, but over night, I became an old lady in spirit who LOVES scented candles and blankets. My blanket collection is quite ridiculous, and as many of those as I can find are handmade (it's the art teacher in me!). In the handmade world, unfortunately, people tend to beef up their prices. Not that handmade textiles aren't worth it...but some people do it much more than others. I've seen hand-woven BABY blankets go for nearly $200!!
When I was asked to review NOVICA United's handwoven blanket, I was super excited! It's literally a product that is right up my alley! I wasn't sure what to expect, but I definitely feel like I was pleasantly surprised with this throw!
The quality of the craftsmanship is fantastic! It is even, consistent, thick, and beautiful! There are no flaws or weak spots. The yarn used to create this blanket is thick and soft and traps body heat nicely! At the edges of the blanket is a fringe that is tied off. These knots are very secure and the fringe is long. It's a nice detail. The blanket overall is wide and long enough for me to get comfortably covered in (I'm 5'8")!
The artist in me LOVES the color scheme of this blanket. The natural colors compliment the decor of my bedroom. The live goes VERY nicely with the burn red/rust color. Those are my two favorites. :)
Just a note on the blanket: It will stretch and expand after you open it. If you accidentally snag it on something, just pull from either end, and it will pull the yarn back into it.
Overall, I'm VERY happy with this blanket. It will be around for years and years to come. I'm not at the point where I have kids, but I can definitely see this as being one of their favorites and a blanket that I pass down! From the color scheme to the design to the material and quality, this is a purchase you won't regret!

I received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion. I did not promise the seller any certain star rating or review. I was not compensated for my review in any way. My job is to inform potential customers of what they're getting into!
