I received these throws that I had eagerly anticipated (as it's getting a bit chilly here in Australia now), but I am a little disappointed as they are rather scratchy and rough and not as nice colours as in the photos. I knew it was only "pure wool" and not "lambswool" and I knew the colours would vary a bit, but was not expecting to receive the mostly "mousy" brown colours. And, the harshness of the wool is more like Shetland wool. So, this was not what I expected as I have purchased Blarney throws before, but only the lambswool type.

Ordered this for a sister and friend, they both LOVE em!!! Just by luck, the colors match their home décor, couldn't have matched better if you tried :).

I have many Blarney throws and rugs and I ordered these rugs based largely on their bargain price ($70 for 2) and wondered what their quality would be like as they were described as 'recycled' wool. I would describe their texture as strong. Certainly they do not have a lambs wool feel about them. These to me are real 'working' rugs with heaps of character. No worries if they fall on the floor or pick up twigs or leaves at a picnic.. They are SO warm and welcoming . Colours are as you would expect from 'recycled' products ... a bit of everything but beautifully woven. The two rugs that I received are totally different in colour. The rugs are finished off with a delightful and substantial Blarney label stating they are made of recycled wool. A nice touch! I have been delighted with both the value for money and practicality of these rugs.

Ordered the 5th, arrived here in Spain th 9th! And they're fantastic; perfect for everyday use and much more practical than mohair. Love them and will order some more for gifts!

First , I would like to say Wow! You guys are awesome in all aspects! Quality items,fast shipping, and great customer service! I bought 2 Irish sheep skin rugs that are gorgeous ! They are super soft and are a lot nicer then the ones I bought in the states! My Dad not knowing the difference commented on how soft it was and it was yours! I purchased 2sets of recycled wool rugs for Christmas gifts (1 for me) and the natural colors are perfect! 2 of the rugs had a big color stripe in them and yes! It was the colors that I was wishing for! Thank you! I am planning a trip to Ireland soon and you will be one of my stops!

Received my order very quickly and absolutely love the colors of the throws. Everyone that I have shown them to have told me that they would love to have them.

Heather

I ordered these throws as Christmas gifts for my husband's parents, who are both in their 80s and are often cold. The throws were a big hit! The colours are lovely and they are very warm. These throws are great value for the money, and the shipping time to Canada was so quick! Great service.

Love getting a SURPRISE package - ESPECIALLY from Ireland! Wonderful colors and textures! So many uses - decorate the home and vehicle, picnics/tailgating, cozy-ing up on the sofa, extra blanket on a cold winter's night, and my favorite - wrap up while sitting outdoors around the firepit!

Denise

Wonderful colors I ordered 4 and they were a big hit I told my granddaughters to keep them in their cars in case they get stuck somewhere so they can stay nice and warm. Thanks

Susan pflumm

Amazing value for these lightweight throws! Love the random, interesting color combos that just work. Throws seem very durable and REAL. A bit scratchy at first, but they soften with use and you get used to it, wouldn't have it any other way.

raquel

I almost did not order these throws based on other reviews that they were very scratchy. True, they are not lambs wool but they are not terribly scratchy. My friends will love receiving these for Christmas. Very happy with this purchase.

Teresa

Wow! These throws arrived so quickly! While they are not colors I had hoped for, the quality is very nice for the price. Mine are a mix of tan, orange, and green with a loose, textured weave. They will make wonderful gifts. My husband made me laugh because he saw the tags that said "rug" and thought they were floor coverings. I will order more someday and hope to get some shades of blue.

Susan

I couldn't love them any more if I tried. Colours are so lovely, and it's amazing to have Irish and recycled throws in the house.

Laura

I have been blessed with the opportunity to spend a week on the Emerald Isle and will always cherish the memories. I am very thankful for the emails from Blarney Woollen Mills and the large selection of beautiful items. I just received my order [which was placed 5 days ago- wow very quick]. The order included 2 of the Recycled Wool Throws, plus 2 other throws and and am over the moon HAPPY with all the product. I didn't have any particular expectation of color so what a great surprise at the beauty. I am sitting in my home in Miami, Florida wrapped in my beautiful new recycled wool rug and reliving my memories of a beautiful experience "Thank you Blarney Woollen Mills".

Lori

I purchased this set on sale and they arrived quickly (I live in the US). They are sturdy and while a little rough at first I do think they'll soften with use. One is on my couch now and the other will go in the car for emergencies and impromptu picnics. The colors are more brown and dark red than the yellow and green in the photo but I still love them. I visited the Blarney store when on a trip to Ireland with my mom and I browse the website frequently for my next touch of Ireland to bring home.

Laura

Love the quality of Blarney Mills. Memories of my last trip to Ireland and having relatives from County Cork makes it even more special. Happy St. Patrick's Day. God Bless to everyone!

Kathleen Ryall - Hart

I received the recycled wool throws for my Birthday. They match all of the colors in our home. I was so happy to receive them and will buy more as gifts throughout the year. Quality was excellent and the surprise of color and design may the gift more exciting. Thanks for the great Birthday surprise.

Barbara

For the price they are good. They're a bit thin but still very warm. They're working rugs. That's why I love them. The colours are eclectic so don't assume they'll match your room. I use mine for outdoor use mostly. Very useful.

Mokey

Really like these-good quality and very warm. Yes, not soft lambswool but that is as I expected . Got mine on sale so great value!

Catherine

I ordered the wool throws for a US cross country train trip. I was amazed at the price. The colors are beautiful. They are more fabulous than I expected!!

Shannon

Received mine today, beautiful colours feels like home.

Paul

Absolutely love these. Beautiful and warm. Living in Ohio these will provide us an opportunity to use these at outside concerts, sports events, campfires and cozy winter nights. You can't go wrong with these.

Linda

I received my set of 2 rugs within 5 days. They more beautiful than I thought they might be. The colors are very versatile and you would have to try hard not to have them look beautiful in any room of your home. The weave is tight enough to support the size which is great. The feel is right in the middle softer than I imagined and I am so happy about that. Just ordered another set of 2. Thank you.

Mary Louise

Received delivery quickly to UK. Bought on promotion, great value, nice quality. Will be in Blarney in next couple of days and will definitely buy some more as will be able to pick colours.

William

I received my throws about 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love them. The colors are bright and colorful; but most importantly, they are warm. I attend outdoor sports activities in the fall and they are perfect for wrapping up while watching the games. Additionally, they not only look beautiful on my chairs but they are perfect for napping, reading a book, etc. What a beautiful addition to my cool/cold weather season.

Sondi

I ordered the throws as a Christmas gift for a friend. She just happened to be at the house when the postman delivered the box. She told him it was for her as a joke, but when I said it was it was she was very Surprised. I told her she could have it now or wait till Christmas. It went home with her of course & she Loves it. I'm always very pleased with everything I've ordered from Blarney & I Love the Free Shipping:~)

Carrie

5 stars all the way!! My only disappointment is that, since I purchased these for gifts, I'll have to part with them myself! :) The colors are beautiful; one primarily green, the other blue. Perfect for my prospective recipients. Thank you, Blarney Woolen Mills!

Susan

Received my order (2 sets) within one week of ordering. These are for Christmas gifts to my children. Love the quality and colours of my throws - 3 blues and 1 green. My only regret is not ordering one for myself. I visited Ireland this past summer and fell in love with your country. I intend to return and visit your store again and purchase more throws for myself and as gifts. Thank you.

Louise

We ordered these for our two grown daughters as a prelude to our two-week-long 2018 Ireland Vacation. This will keep the excitement building. We have ordered several times from Blarney, and have yet to be disappointed in quality, price, value, or delivery. This order was no exception. LOVE the throws!

Joe Sandor

Love these! Perfect for just having around for those chilly days! And being from recycled material makes them even better.

Michelle Cranford

My low score is because I was very disappointed when I received the blankets as they sent two of the same exact blanket - the photos in the listing online show different blankets so I was expecting to get two different ones. The quality and color is great and I have other blankets from them but would have been nice to know I would be getting two of the same blankets before ordering.

Kate

Recieved a set of these beautiful throws from our great friends Jim and Mary Ellen in the states as a christmas gift. What a wonderful and useful gift. A beautiful Package arrived well in time for christmas beautifully wrapped with a big red bow. The throws are beautiful colours and real confortable and most importantly for us living in Ireland....... lovely and warm. Thanks so much Jim and Mary Ellen.

Paul Dillon

Absolutely perfect! beautiful colors, true to size and weight. was concerned if the colors would work in my room and they blend perfectly! most likely will order 2 more sets as gifts.

Arlene Sampson

I ordered these rugs/throws and they are exquisite! The colors are beautiful and the quality is superb. They are not as scratchy as other reviewers have noted and will work well for many uses including being thrown over the lap to chase away chill. They exceeded my expectations and arrived so quickly to the U.S. I originally bought as gifts, but decided to keep for myself and will be ordering more.

Jessica

I love these throws and I love the surprise of colors which you would think is crazy but it’s so fun and especially because of the 10 throws in total I have ordered crazy enough they have matched a bedroom a family room my mini van for traveling. Have to my friend who is from Ireland and it just happens to match her living room and she loves it! A little scratchy but really not an issue. It is crazy how happy these have made me! Great gifts!

Donna

Quality of these is very good, yes they are rough but beautifully woven. I saw these in the store when we visited Ireland and loved the colours and the fact they are recycled. However, extremely disappointed in the variety I received--I ordered 2 sets (4 blankets). 3 of the 4 are the same with lots of brown the other brown and blue. You would think when the person threw them in the box they could mix up the colours. That's what makes them interesting.

Monica (Canada)

These are exactly what you described, not for baby, but great "working throw" keep one int the car, great for picnics, watching sport games whether on the grass or warming the butt on cold metal benches. Dirt does not want to cling to them, have got 4 so far , great mix of colors in mine. Got to get more for the hunting shack.
