Review on Department 56 Snowman SNOWTHROW Blanket by Russell Mahendra

ATTENTION! I do thorough checks. Wanted to use it in the living room in December. I LOVE the Grinch. Photo 1: PACKAGING - a regular plastic bag with an adhesive closure. Photo 2: The XTRA comes with a button and loop to keep it folded when not in use. The button is in the center of the blanket when extended. I could cut the button off mine and keep it folded up with the rest of the Christmas throws. half to measure it, so double 30 inches). Photo 5: THICKNESS AND SOFTNESS As a seasoned seamstress with 50 years of experience, I would rate the green Grinch Long fleece fabric as very light and sweater-like. The creamy white, fluffy fabric is very dense and very tightly woven. Together, this blanket will be very hot in winter! The green side is not necessarily soft, but still feels comfortable. The weave is quite loose so I would NOT leave it to your dog or if he digs while spinning in circles his claws may snag and snag the fabric. The whitish side is really soft but not as soft as Minky. It still makes you want to run your hands over it. OVERALL: This blanket makes a really thick, warm, quality, and fun addition to my home for winter evenings, especially around the holidays. Very happy with this product. It's worth the money I paid for it. I would buy it again for myself and as a gift.
