I adored these blankets so much. Purchased two for guest rooms. These blankets' quality and firmness really amazed me. Separately wash each one. Dried on racks before being placed in the dryer to finish drying and being fluffed. They looked even better when they emerged from this process than when they were first packaged. Even though they are not light, we didn't want very light blankets. They are flawless. The third one was just ordered.
