Love this blanket for watching tv on the couch. It is so warm and toasty. I had originally bought the gray color (which I thought had too much purple in it (it was a lavender type gray) but my adult son loved how it felt and didn't care about the color so I gave it to him to take back to college and bought myself the cream color. Now I'm much happier.I gave this to my daughter as a gift as she went away to college. She has always wanted one of these big soft blankets. I was disappointed almost embarrassed by the small size. Much smaller than the measurements. I would not gift this for this reason. It had large Noticeable holes even before use. This blanket will not last. It is soft. I don’t know if it sheds. She hasn’t said anything about that yet. She likes the blanket.Got this for my wife for Christmas. She LOVES it. Her only complaint - it’s too big. We use it for relaxing on the couch. Because of its size, it’s also considerably heavier. But very very soft and comfy.I love my blanket, the material is so soft. Mine arrive with some imperfections but they made it right for me with no issues. Excellent customer service!!!!!So I had bought a merino wool chunky crochet throw before this one, but it was fraying and falling apart like crazy. So I returned that and purchased 2 of these. I love them!! Super cute, warm, comfy, they add color to my couch, they seem pretty durable so far with everyday use. I love them!EDIT: after only a couple of months of having this blanket it needed a wash, I put it on gentle. I was going to hang it for it to dry so it wouldn't fall apart but it completely fell apart in the washer. Do not purchase! Not worth it.This throw is beautiful and so soft. Love the chenille. Bought as gifts, now wishing for one for me.Xmas gift, so unknownThis blanket is so small it wouldn't even cover my legs. It's more like a baby blanket. I don't know if I got shipped the wrong size or what. Love the quality though but very upset since this was a Christmas present and it won't even fit over someone's legs.
