I like these for gifts. Trying to decide on colors.

It's smaller than I prefer but I'm tempted nonetheless.  I surely like the black current, even if it doesn't match a single thing in my house.  It would be smarter to choose a neutral or the dolphin blue.  I keep trying to talk myself out of it because we have other throw blankets and I have a BD wrap and the Berkshire wrap.  I wouldn't mind it as an extra throw on our bed, though.  

11/21 ETA - I came to my senses and decided to pass.  It's just too small for my tall frame and I have multiple other ways of staying warm and cuddly.  I may not have as much restraint when it comes to the next BD TSV, though, if it's in Cozy Chic Lite.  Time will tell.

I am trying to decide on if I should get colors that are closest to the recipient's favorite color, or getting a neutral so can blend in the TV room.

The dolphin blue is 😻!  Just what I need too-- another throw for my dogs or cats to make their own.  But I can't resist.

Anyone else notice that it says the price will last 6 days and 22 hours?

I think the BFD plaid throw H474087 $79.98 goes perfectly with the TSV. It's a jacquard so it's thicker than the TSV. I think the carbon plaid looks elegant. I've never seen carbon BFD throws until today. However it doesn't go with anything in my house, so I might get the blue instead.

I also noticed they are finally selling some hats in two sizes, yay, because I have a big head. They also have a pom-pom hat in bright red, a color I've never seen in BFD.

The size of this puts me off for the cost. Just a tad small. I know many love the Barefoot Dreams fabric, but I just hesitate when there are bigger fluffy Berkshire blankets at 1/3 the cost or knowing that Dennis Bassois likely to have his larger throw as a TSV soon too. But I guess having so many choices is a good thing!


@nikkisaunt1  My thoughts exactly.  I love Barefoot Dreams, but I'm not buying another one of their small throws of 45" x 60".  

 

For a moment, I was going to purchase it to use as a shawl.  But I don't like the original cozy chic as a wearable knit.  Nice knit for a throw though, and beautiful new colors this time.  Enjoy it if you purchase!

They probably misnamed this by calling it a blanket at 45x60, more like a throw, but the colors are beautiful. I'm a big girl and like to snuggle under a bigger throw while watching TV in the colder winter months. This would be a good chance for me to at least try their products, always wondered about the feel of the fabric, but I just got the Berkshire throw so I'm good for now. I would have a difficult time choosing a color with these, I'd be happy with many of them. For all who order, hope you're just the coziest using them!

Re: Barefoot Dreams TSV - November 21, 2024

it's a terrible size, it's just too small to actually be a decent sized throw, they are usually 60 x 70 or 80.  and it's the wrong shape to be used as a wrap, even the smallest person is sitting clutching both sides trying to get it around them.  

i'm really disappointed I was looking forward to these until I saw how small they were on the people who were trying to stretch one around themselves as a wrap.

This "throw" is too small.  I was hoping this time around it would have been larger.  I would rather pay more for a more substantial size.
