El Paso Designs Xtra Large Mexican Serape Blanket

 
 
This Serape blanket is very beautiful. It is pretty good sized measuring 84 inches by 62 inches and it fits my bed perfectly. I like that it was hand crafted on traditional looms by a family of weavers in Mexico. You can tell by the tightly woven acrylic with white tassels near the top and bottom that they work very hard at making these and how passionate they are about it. 
 
I love how bright and bold the colors are, it makes it look festive and helps it stand out. The stripe pattern is nice and all of the colors are really pretty. There's red, dark blue and light blue, pink, white, yellow, light green and dark green, black, and orange.
 
 
 I have read that Serapes are not only used as bedspreads but also for a throw blanket, tapestries, curtains, and seat cushions. I've only used it on my bed though and occasionally as a throw when I'm laying down on the couch watching movies. When I get cold, I use it to cover up and it keeps me warm.
 
I was lucky to receive this product in exchange for my unbiased and honest review. I love this blanket and would recommend it to everyone.
