Berkshire Throws - shedding terribly

just wonder — Sat, 23 Oct 2021 22:23:14 GMT

Anyone else experience terrible shedding from new Berkshire throws/blankets this holiday season? Have never had this problem before, washed prior to using, and it will just not stop shedding all over the place - going back. I have many from previous years and never had this problem.

@just wonder Probably cheapened quality, just like everything else. The Q clothing has gotten so bad, the newer fabrics are unrecognizable from my older, higher quality pieces.

I agree, not much quality anymore, and problems with shipping and slow returns.

Bought - for first time - 2 "B" throws. DV and vendor harped about how fuzzy and warm they were.

HA HA HA.............I fell for it - they were fluffy alright - but warm? So thin your finger could go through the material.

One to goodwill - 2nd 'just disappeared'....Junk

The Berkshire VelvetSoft throws I have are 2+ yrs old & they're cozy & warm. The only one that was a shedding mess was the Fluffie & that went into the 🗑. Sorry you were disappointed @just wonder, Thanks for sharing.

I don't have one, but thank you for the feedback. Sharon Hanby-Robie will be sorry to hear it.

@ValuSkr You can bet Sharon Hanby-Robie knows and she should be extremely embarrassed.

I hope those of you receiving garbage are writing reviews.

I purchased

H227118 Home Reflections Fair Isle 60"x80" Throw w/ Sherpa Rev. It is so soft and warm with no shedding. Purchased a second one in the soft grey color (and the print is subtle) for the guest bedroom.

@just wonder Is that the one with the trees? I'd have been better off getting an angora cat!

My husband loves it and I don't know how I'm going to get it away from him. But it is thin and cheap and ratty.

Live and learn. Share your experience on the "Reviews", donate yours to the homeless, and don't buy it again.

I just bought the fluffie sheets, washed and dried them and put them on the bed. I barely had three threds come off. Didn't hardly have any shedding.

I just recently opened a Berkshire throw I bought on clearance last year. I'm having the same problem. It's such a happy color (yellow) so I hate to get rid of it but it's been on the bed for a couple of weeks and I am constantly picking up fuzzballs. I'm done with this brand. Even my most recent clearance purchase of two Malden Mills holiday pillowcases are so much thinner and cheaper than ones I purchased a few years ago. Disappointed.

It really is sad to see the quality go down as the prices go up. I guess it is best to take care of the things we have.

Free shipping this weekend and I am not buying. I agree it is best to enjoy what we have purchased in the past and be glad for the better quality. For those with bad throws I would hope you would donate to animal shelters before throwing away. Dogs and cats love the softeness and they will not mind some shedding. It seems we have trouble getting our thrift shops to take anything anymore, as they have an over abundance. So, I donate bedding items, towels, etc. to the animal shelter. They love it.

H229942 is a Berkshire Blanket and I have to share that this is a new item and is of great quality. I washed it yesterday and it came out perfect....not even one tiny fuzz ball in the lint catcher! Nothing clean...nada ziltch LOL! I was stunned....cause last yr I purchased a blanket and gifted it to my son....we washed here and all it did was shed like crazy. I told him to toss it and I got him a different blanket. I should have sent it back to Q!

It is hit or miss with even Berkshire these days....just thought I would share the quality on this new blanket is awesome in case anyone is in the market.
