When I first felt this as a throw that I bought, I could not believe how soft it was it was just beautiful on my skin… I had to have the blanket, so I purchased myself a blanket for Christmas because the throw I love where it is, I want something I can put on me and it’s big and warm… And then everybody else in my family ended up getting one because I had to share the warmth and the beauty of this blanket… Soft bear did an excellent job!
