I bought a plaid "ecological virgin wool soft touch" (~ 60 €) and a plaid" pure wool Merinos & Kashmir" (~ 110 €). I needed 2 plaids so I took the opportunity to offer me the comparison.
The order, transport and delivery part was no problem: I received the plaids in a well-sized cardboard box and on the date indicated.
The Woolen Throw ecological virgin is a plaid with mechanical weaving that is found on the "less well of range" that is to say that we see the weaving done by the machine, a regular weaving in grid. The wool is not compressed and therefore the air is insulating. Let's be clear, this plaid is not low-end. It is still pretty and especially it dyes warm which is the main (for me). The advertised size of 140x200 may be a point of conflict as I read in another comment. It should be understood that the plaid (wool) is elastic and the 140x200 are surely reached when stretching the plaid. I measured a difference of several centimeters but frankly nothing serious unless your use requires a 140x200 "real." On the other hand, the size allows you to fold the plaid once to have 2 layers on you if necessary. Note that it is not Merino wool so it scratches a little in direct contact on the skin. The site mentions it so it's no surprise. For my part, I put up with it rather well by telling myself that it contributes to the strengthening of the sensation of heat:). In short, I am very happy with this plaid that I used in April every cold and wet day.
But I also bought the pure wool Merinos & Kashmir plaid. Its price is about twice as high as the price of the first plaid. It is a beautiful product: the weaving is of quality and very different from the first plaid, the patterns are well drawn and the touch is very pleasant. It also keeps warm but a little differently. I wore these two plaids in "poncho" and "toga" and my feeling is as follows: Woolen Throw ecological gives a feeling of thermal dam more immediate and stronger than with the plaid in Merino while the second seems to block a little slower or a little less strong, without overheating the following minutes. In any case, the Merino plaid is VERY nice to use.
To relativize my opinion, note that I am not used to plaids, I probably missed important information and my assessment of the quality of the products is done without knowing the references of the market. Also, bear in mind that I used ecological wool plaid much more than Merino plaid.
In conclusion, I would say that if you favor efficiency for a minimum expense select the Woolen Throw ecological (scratch a little but very bearable) and if you want a beautiful plaid with a "regulated" heat, the Merinos plaid seems to me to be a good choice.
