I bought the one time only on New Years Eve.....Berkshire sherpa throw. I used to LOVE Berkshire throws......until.....this one. Mine shed, shed, and shed continuously. After washing three times and drying it, it shed and clumps of red sherpa were everywhere. Ugh! Soooooooo disappointed. I went to Costco and bought one of their brands, and it's stunning....no shedding.

I rarely return things but I would send this back as defective.  You have until Jan 31.

I will never purchase another Berkshire anything.  Vendor told how warm and cozy it is............ha

It was fluffy but had no warmth........absolutely none.

 

Inferior and cheap product

I have never purchased anything from Berkshire from QVC, but I have a really nice Berkshire blanket that I got from Macy's quite a few years ago.  I love it.

 

I wonder if QVC is getting lesser quality items from Berkshire than is sold elsewhere.

 

Send backw the throw as defective.

Same thing happened to me.  I bought one on sale last summer and didn't open it for awhile.  When I finally did and put it on the end of the bed I was shocked how much linting it had.  Everyday I was picking up little lint balls from it.  I have older ones that never did that so once again, they made their money and are now using cheaper materials to make the blankets or as they say "a new manufacturer"........awful!

 

I wouldn't buy another thing from that line.

I agree. They shed and have too much static. I have given up on Berkshire blankets.

Over the years, I have figured out when they say "exclusive to QVC" it can mean it is a lower price point item but still has the higher price brand on it.

I absolutely did. It was mailed back Saturday morning! I couldn't get it back in the box fast enough. Sherpa has its own merits, but unless it's a very high quality, it can be a real mess. This one was a real mess. I was so disappointed in the lack of quality.
