Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Wicked Plush Throw Large

I had bought a previous blanket in the same color a few years ago, and love it. It has been washed with no issues. So deciding to purchase another in the same color, I recently ordered another blanket. However the color was off and I was told by LLBean that the lot was different and therefore slightly off. Ok, I accepted that explanation and washed and dried it according to it's instructions, only to find it has fuzzies and is making a mess on my dark sofa, even with shaking it outside. I will try and wash it again, and hope it improves, or it will be returned. My guess is not only a different lot, but a different manufacturer that isn't the same quality.

I ordered two of these very nice throws as Christmas presents, and I had each one monogrammed. On one, I requested the monogram be in printed upper and lower case lettering, and it came out fine: looked good and was a proper size. On the other, I requested the monogram be in script. This looks terrible. The monogramming is too small to be appropriate for the size of this throw. With its small size, it looks amateurish, sloppy, cheap, inappropriate for this nice throw, and it is difficult to read. It looks bad. Very sad. If you order this type of throw, or any similar item, be sure not to order the monogramming in the script style, or if you do want script, call the order desk on the phone to see if it can be done in a larger size than what seems to be their automatic size selection for an item like this and of this size. I am very disappointed with the throw that I received to give as a Christmas present that has the monogram in script. Not the kind and quality of gift I choose to give.

The throw itself is very nice. I love the larger size and its softness. My issue comes with the laundering process. I followed the directions on the tag. I have the red throw. A rogue white sock went in with it. It came out pink and covered in red lint. The dryer mesh was COVERED in a thick layer of red lint. Overall it is still nice. I would recommend washing it completely separate from other clothes. I have never run into a laundering issue with all my previous LL Bean purchases.

Not very plush and it sheds

I purchased the extra large throw in October 2017 and have found that it did not hold in my body heat when I was watching TV late at night. I actually felt cold after using it in my apartment after 2 hours. The apartment was set to about 70 degrees F.

I recently ordered two of these throws. One had some surface pilling when it arrived, the other did not. I decided to wash both throws before use, in order to minimize the probability of shedding. The blanket which had some pilling to start with came out of the washing and drying looking terrible, and I will have to return it. The other looks better, but now has some pilling. Also: the care instructions on the throw itself say something not mentioned in the description online, namely that the throw must be dried without heat--not very practical, and definitely not within my definition of "machine wash and dry"!

I ordered 2 of the extra large white blankets. These are super warm and cozy. However, I have white fuzz everywhere ( my pants, couch, etc). Would recommended a different type.

Liked the extra large size but didn't follow the drying instruction as I have no patience for air drying something for more than 45 minutes. Will not recommend this to anyone.

I was looking for a throw blanket to use on the colder winter nights on top of our regular bedding. This is a very soft, light and comfy blanket, but it did shed a bit on our other blanket and I didn't want to brush off the lint everyday. I returned it and bought something more substantial.

It took almost three hours to dry this throw on air fluff, so I guess I won't be washing it very often which is not good as I have cats. Care is totally different from the wicked fleece blanket I purchased last spring. That blanket was dry on air fluff in no time. It also didn't shed like this one which got blue lint all over my beige sheets. Is there no way I can dry this with some heat? I'm seriously considering returning it.

I bought nine of these for my wedding and hand them embroidered. I have washed them three times and dried them and am so embarrassed to give them as gifts. The pilling is awful. You'd think there were from the dollar store. I've never had a blanket do this. I would give zero stars if an option

I washed this exactly one time exactly how the tag specified and it shed everywhere.

In over 50 years, I doubt I've ever had a complaint regarding a product from LLBean. Unfortunately, the "Wicked Plush Throw" is my first and hopefully my last. After only a year, it has pilled to the point that it is uncomfortable to the touch. I'll be donating it to an animal rescue.

This is a soft blanket. However, it sheds! It was all over our dark blue sofa. This is not the same quality as our older LLBean blankets, very disappointing.

The throw has been washed three times and is still balling up

This is an exceptional throw blanket. I already had 3 from a purchase several years ago and was so glad to see that it was still available. It is so soft and plush warm yet very lightweight. I highly recommend it as a quality product for a very acceptable price.

Have purchased two and both are pilling. returned one and now have to return the other. tried the green and blue.Fuzz all over pillow cases. followed the washing instructions.

The absolute best throw. So soft and never pill. I have to two and these throws are my go to gift, and everyone who has received one loves it. I just bought them for my nieces who just left for college. Both have stated they use them nightly and take everywhere they go in their dorms. Gifted another to a friend going through chemo and just ordered for a friend for her birthday.

After 4+ washes, this blanket continues to generate fuzz and pill. I had to throw out a different blanket it was washed with as it ended up covered in white fuzz.

Sent this as a gift. Soft and cozy but it sheds and leaves lint everywhere even after being washed. Disappointed.

I am so disappointed in this Blaket! While it is super soft, it leaves fuzz all over the place, it pills up terrible. I bought it under the impression it wouldn't do that, but it does.

The size is great and it is very warm, but it sheds on everything and has ruined socks and clothes, not to mention blue fuzz balls everywhere. We bought 5 navy blankets and they all shed. Very disappointed because we have always gotten quality products from LL Bean.

I loved the blanket so much until I washed and dried it.I washed it alone and dried it alone, and it's completely ruined. Fibers are everywhere and there is pilling on almost every square inch. The blanket is essentially ruined as the texture is bumpy and will never be the same.

After washing this throw pills and sheds fuzz balls!

I bought this throw with great anticipation, as I have another purchased a few years ago. But when I washed it to remove factory smell it shed so much fluff that I had to clean the inside of my washer and empty the dryer filter a couple of times. Then I brushed it with a lint brush and finally a stronger brush/comb to try to make it usable. Needless to say, the fibers were floating all around my bedroom and adhering to other bedding, etc. I spent about an hour brushing it, then repeated the washing/drying procedure, and gave up. My nose itches just thinking about it! I am returning it.
