Can't remember what Berkshire throw/blanket was being raved about here not too long ago

Does anyone remember which one it was? TIA!

It was probably the fluffie (H197213), which IS awesome until it has some age on it, then it gets matted down. Washing revives it some and it's still super soft and snuggly, but a little ratty looking after 1 year. I never had pilling problems that were reported by many reviewers.

The other Berkshire blanket that got rave reviews last fall/winter was the "velvet" soft one (H200204). I have it in queen, and twin for throws. They are very well made and extremely soft, but they slide off my bed and for me are too hot/heavy for anything but the dead of winter. HTH.

The thread I remember recommended H201108, the Berkshire Fleece throw. I've been thinking about this one in particular lately, wondering if it was still available. I want a HUGE throw when I get really cold, and this one is 60" x 80".

Here is the original thread:

I, too, think it was the fluffie that was touted so highly on here earlier. I have the blanket version of that throw, and quite frankly, I'm not impressed. It sheds somewhat, and does look kind of cheap and matted very quickly.

The velvet line of their blankets are really elegant and rich looking, don't shed at all, and I prefer them over the fluffie ones.

As for throws, I think their best one is H200406 Berkshire quilted throw with gift box. It is much more elegant, has a low pile like the velvet blanket, and the quilting is just beautiful. I purchased two of them and if they go down even further in clearance price, I'll get a couple for gift giving this year as well.

It was me and it was the Berkshire fleece throw, not the fluffie. The fleece throw is on clearance and it a great deal. I've got several put away for gifts. I got the blue which is like a Carolina blue and the cream-H201108.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Gidget, I just watched the video and heard Sharon say that this throw is like polar fleece sheets but a little heavier. Would you agree? It's hard to tell much about something like this without feeling it, but I am familiar with the Sunbeam micro fleece sheets.

I've watched the video also. It's just regular fleece. It's not like the Malden Mills sheets and it's nothing at all like the Fluffie throws. I had the Malden Mills sheets and they were kind of slippery feeling to me and stretchy and this is nothing like that.

Thanks, gidget. I just did a quick internet search and there isn't much out there to choose from in this size.
