I’m Addicted To Throws!!!

I seem to have this crazy addiction to buying fluffy throws. The Charter Club brand from Macy's are amazing..great quality....and they're on sale for $9.99. I bought some for gifts and some for me.😊

I am, too! I ordered one from Cuddledown dot com a few weeks ago. It is 100% cotton fleece, and it is WONDERFUL! Feels like a giant cotton ball, so soft and cozy.

A bit expensive but worth it to me because cotton fleece is almost impossible to find. I don't like poly fleece, and I don't like knit throws. I am very happy with my new throw.

Over 15 years ago, the Q offered thick 100% cotton flannel blankets and throws and I purchased several of them. Still have and use them. Still in excellent condition. They were made in Portugal and are excellent quality. Haven't seen anything like them since.

The cotton fleece throw I just purchased from Cuddledown was also made in Portugal.

Highly recommend for those who prefer cotton.

I know the feeling. I have so many, get more every year.

They are so addicting in so many fun designs, reasonable

prices as well.

I switch mine around every season. Just found a cute one.

Rare to me, has lemons on it. Snatched it up, last one.

@DottieBlue THANK YOU for posting about your 100% cotton fleece blanket. I had no idea about those. I prefer 100% cotton and am going to check them right now.

I have a Charter Club robe that is so cozy and well made. I wear it all the time. Love their products.

Misplaced Parisian: You're welcome. I also just purchased a blanket for a gift and had it monogrammed (free of charge).

EDITED TO ADD: I forgot to mention that The Company Store dot com also carries 100% cotton fleece blankets and throws. They are also excellent quality.

Both Cuddledown and The Company Store are currently having Black Friday sales, and these sites rarely have sales.

I'm so interested in this. I will look these up, since I like to crochet some for the people in the homes that we donate to. I want to see the sizes most appreciated.

My sister is too. She's always cold and she loves her throws. I give her one every Christmas, this year I found a Christmas theme throw that has kitties that look like her cat and the kitties are wearing Santa hats. She's going to love it. I'll give it to her before Christmas this year.

I have more than I will ever need and can´t stop buying. I just sent some to four kids in California and gave two to my niece and nephew yesterday. Of course I had to order a few more of the exact type to replace what I gave away.

I don´t need them but I love them. I was wondering why then I came across an article yestersay about Taureans (Apri; 21st- May 21st) can´t resist a throw. I couldn´t believe it. Now i feel better.

I´m as stubborn as a Bull and no one can stop me from buying a throw lol.

I discovered the Berkshire brand from QVC and I love them all.

@qualitygal, 60x70 and 50x70 are two goods sizes. They really do the job. I recently bought 60x80 and that can almost cover a twin bed.

Aren´t those sizes a lot for you to crochet? What sizes do you usually make?

Don´t know if you have ever done this but I found some labels?? that said ¨handmade with love¨ and I sew them on the items I make

I'm with you, I love them too!! Just bought myself a Christmas throw so I can't wait to use it. Now my problem is where to store them?!!!!

Just want to say thank you for bringing the Charter clubs throws to my attention. I picked one up and love it. Cozy. It was a steal at 11 bucks. I went back for more and they were no longer on sale and most patterns gone. I love that they are big enough to cover the feet when laying down.

Thank you.

My granddoggie is also addicted to throws! After stealing his Daddy's throw, he now owns several of his own--on the couch, in his bed, and on his favorite chair!

Yes, and the softer the better. When I'm in a department type store I'm forever stopping and touching the various throws.

Our two cats love them even more than I do. For some reason squishy throws seem to be the best kneading material. And I'd much prefer they do that than knead on my stomach!
