Are the ones at costco the wool ones (that cost hundreds) or are they fleece (that are like $50)?

Those look really nice, but I think they are probably different from the wool ones people go nuts over. I've never used either. One of these days I want to check them out. They certainly have a loyal following around here.

Slept under the one my grandmother got when she went off to college. She graduated in 1940. Yes, they really are that good snd last that long. I did not inherit it, but I also live where we have generally very mild winters. My cousin who lives in the mountains got it.

Cool! I can't wait to try one. Are they itchy (bc wool)?

Yes, but nana always had really good sheets and usually a light cotton blanket in between. So you only noticed it if you left your arms out or something.

We actually just received one from Costco as an xmas present yesterday. Pretty decent feel to it, it's 100% polyester and made in china, and I assume just the design is the licensed thing from Pendleton. I don't mind it but it ain't the real thing by any stretch.

They completely lack breathability. I run cold but always woke up in the dead of night in a pool of sweat. In a matter of months, I donated the 2 fleece blankets I'd bought at Costco to the thrift store. Honestly the worst blankets I've ever bought.
