- Is it warm enough to use as a winter blanket?
- It works as a throw for a sofa or bed, not as a main winter blanket. The wool-cashmere blend is warm for its weight, but it is lighter than a pure wool blanket.
- How should I clean it?
- Treat it as a delicate wool item: hand wash cold or dry clean, and dry flat. Machine washing and tumble drying risk shrinkage and felting.
- Does it shed or pill?
- Cashmere-blend weaves can pill with friction, especially where it rubs against upholstery. A fabric comb removes pills, and gentle use limits shedding.
- What size is it?
- It is a throw, sized for one person or for draping over furniture rather than covering a bed. Check the listed dimensions before buying for a specific chair or bed.
- Is the B Shield pattern on both sides?
- The jacquard weave carries the motif through the fabric, so the pattern shows on both faces, with the reverse slightly softer in tone.
- Is it a good gift?
- Yes, if the recipient likes Burberry or branded home pieces. For someone who prefers plain textiles, a mill-made wool-cashmere throw offers similar fibers without the logo.
- Where is the Burberry B Shield Wool Cashmere Blanket cheapest?
- At Balardi, for $1,550.00, as of our latest check.
