This is purple. It matches the on-screen color perfectly. But the touch is awful. I had hoped for the warmth and softness of the wool blankets I've had at my yoga studios. But no. This is scratchy, like Grandma's wool sweater. I recommend looking elsewhere. Or better yet, buy a wool yoga blanket in a store if you can so you can touch it first -- makes a huge difference. I felt dumg when I got this...I shouldn't have ordered wool without "test driving" it in a store.

Good Yoga Blanket
I purchased this wool yoga blanket as an addition to the two non-woven Hugger Mugger yoga blankets I already owned. It is more pliable than the non-woven blankets and can be rolled up into a smaller blanket roll. The wool blanket is a nice addition to my yoga props collection--the non-woven blankets provide the firm foundation required for some yoga poses and the wool blanket's flexability is helpful for others. All of the Hugger Mugger blankets are well made and have held up to daily use for my yoga practice. Also, the blankets don't smell funny, which is important to my sensitive nose.

Fitness Product?
I don't think I've ever given less than a 3 on any review. This blanket had a chemical stench that was probably left by some chemical that's banned from use in the US. It smelled something like formaldehyde. It just cut through the mind. The smell was so bad that I had to put it outside in the back of the truck until I got it to the dump. I didn't want to wash it and get whatever was on it in my washing machine or in the septic system. A blanket like that is no good to me. I can't believe anyone else would use it, especially for what's supposed to be a spiritual and uplifting exercise.

I bought a Manduka mat and it smelled, but this blanket was much worse. I understand the manufacturing process may result in a slight odor, but there has got to be a better way than this. The only thing I can understand is that the absolute cheapest and most toxic chemical was used to prevent insect damage of the wool and provide the absolute maximum shelf life. Yep, I'm not happy about it. I've owned a lot of wool blankets and I know they didn't smell like that, or seem so cheaply made and thin.

Sorry, but it was that bad.
