| had to look up but these sound like they are awful in terms of synthetic microscopic fibers and environment (waterways, ocean, build up in organisms). |
] Could they not make them any uglier? Seriously, WTF with the stupid patterns and colors? What's wrong with solids or something normal looking? |
What a great idea, I think my kids would love these. |
Trust, we are all going to die from the climate change long before the micro fibers get us. |
There are solids if you search on the site. That was just the first version that came up. Example: https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-2029480/the-big-one-super-soft-plush-blanket.jsp?color=Ivory&prdPV=1 |
I prefer natural materials. These are nice, and still very soft and warm. Less...microfiber. https://www.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/fraas-solid-cashmere-throw-100-exclusive?ID=2676094&RecProdZonePos=prodrec-1&LinkType=prodrec_pdpza&RecProdZoneDesc=RR-CMIO-RT-POC|RR-CMIO|prodrec_pdpza|RR |
NP, here. Okay, but your post was complaining about the prints, not the materials. |
| This thread makes me sad. I have hand knitted blankets and quilts from my great grandmother, grandmother, mother, and aunts. I use them every day. What did you have before that you got rid of everything? I have carried these mementos across continents! |
| Is OP a sales rep for Minky? I bought perfectly comfortable plush blankets at Costco for a small fraction of the Minky prices. |
Less... money in my wallet after buying one of those rather than the plush blanket. About $250 less.
|
My family has always been to poor to own hand knitted blankets. |
Oh Jesus. |
Yeah mine too. |
Indeed! We have microplastic fibers on our plates, but thank you baby Jesus we have cozy blankets. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/from-fish-to-humans-a-microplastic-invasion-may-be-taking-a-toll/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jun/20/microfibers-plastic-pollution-oceans-patagonia-synthetic-clothes-microbeads |
