This throw is nice and large.  It's supposed to be 50" x 60" but mine measured over 60 inches on the long side.  The size means it can be used as a blanket on a bed as well as a throw on a chair or couch.  It would also be good to curl up under outside on a cool night or in the backseat of a car on a road trip.  Even though it's got some thickness to it, it's not heavy and can easily be folded up.  It does get very warm so it may not be great for use during summer months, but is perfect for fall and winter.  It's made from OEKO-TEX so it has no harmful chemicals.
