This throw has a soft minky feel similar to a child’s blanket. It is lightweight and perfect for summer.When I opened it and saw how thin it was I thought I wouldn’t like it but when I put it on my bed and the vibrant color was so beautiful and it is very cuddly I love it!!They were perfect for our couchJust love it, I get so many compliments for this.I got this as a throw blanket to go over my couch. I ended up using it as an actual blanket. It's super soft. It's actually very warm but still lightweight!I liked it! Very smooth and fluffy, also a little glossy on the surface. I bought this just to cover my college dorm couch but started to feel it deserves more...didn't expect this quality for the price.I was very impressed with this blanket. It’s perfect for use all year. The coverage is great (no more loosing my half of the blanket to my husband in the middle of the night.). It’s super soft. The ivory color is perfect. I plan to buy one for the guest room.Very pretty color and lightweight!
