Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We have been through a couple of woven cotton blankets and left feeling disappointed. Many are woven so loose that they unravel over time, badly lose shape, disintegrate after 1-2 washes or are so thin they are worthless for warmth. Even costly designer name brands have disappointed! This blanket is BEAUTIFUL and practical! The weave is perfect! It isn't scratchy like hospital grade cotton blankets, but it feels just as durable. We washed it in cold water on delicate and air fluffed it for 40 minutes in the dryer then ex low heat for 10. It retained its shape with little to no shrinkage. Fits my son's twin bed fine and he wrapped up in its softness. The sides cover past the 14" mattress on the sides and has plenty to tuck in at the end. We like to use natural bedding because of everyone's very sensitive skin and eczema. But the wool blanket we had for him was a bit too heavy since we have had a mild fall. This blanket suits our needs perfect! We ordered a king for our bed to go under our cotton bedspread for layering. Will write a review for it as well after we get it laundered and made up. Will definitely order more products from Cotton Craft! Good quality Indian cotton goods at a wonderful price! Well done and even seam stitching & no lose threads. Have no complaints! Worth Noting: 1. It is 100% cotton. If washed improperly, it will be affected by shrinkage. Wash cold as instructed & preferably delicate, by itself. Extra low-low tumble dry or even air fluff tumble. 2. This isn't designed to be a heavy, super warm, winter blanket. Best for warmer weather or layering during colder months under your quilts. Perfect if you radiate heat at night like me & my family but you like the feeling of a cozy blanket. 3. It isn't 'over-sized' and isn't suitable as a bed spread to cover a mattress & box springs. It is a blanket. Sizing listed is accurate. 4. If you want natural (non-synthetic) bedding with the vintage quality like your grand or great grandparents had, this is perfect! Many fire prevention agencies recommend all natural bedding that is less likely to ignite into flames from the smallest spark. A great bargain for a little peace of mind! UPDATE: We washed the king blanket as well and are using it on our bed now. We have a 21" mattress that requires special sheets. Even after washing, this blanket still works for us although we don't have much excess on the sides (this is normal for our huge mattress). I dried it on air fluff then low heat to finish and of course, washed it cold. No shrinkage. Very happy with BOTH sizes! We are using this layered under a cotton quilt. Perfect for mild winter and hopefully for next spring/summer in the south too. Latest UPDATE: We ordered ANOTHER twin blanket in white for our daughter's bed. We are still using the original two we purchased some time back and they have held up fine through several washes. Still very pleased!
