Throw pillows and throw blankets are the female adult equivalent to our childhood stuffed animal collection! There is just something about the comfort and aesthetics of the soft textured fabrics and pop of color they give off. They help to create a warm, cozy and welcoming feel to any living room and bedroom.Having recently painted the living room I needed to upgrade some of its components. As we are nearing the warmer seasons I didn’t want a throw blanket that was heavy and hot. We are also big people, therefore need a larger blanket if we are going to cozy up on the couch.This blanket is the perfect addition to my collection. The color is exactly as pictured. It is incredibly soft and lightweight, perfect for summer nights. It is pretty and would make a great gift as a housewarming or for that special person who loves all things cute and cozy. It is well made and priced affordability.I haven’t washed it yet, but appears it would do fine with similar colors and would recommend a gentle setting and air dry. As far as size goes, it’s a good sized throw for our 6ft bodies . It’s a great find!
