I bought this blanket to add a warm layer to my bedding for autumn. It is well-made, gets even softer when you wash it, and is easy to care for. It is the perfect compliment to my sheet and duvet set-up - I am always cold and my partner is always hot, so finding blankets that work for both of us is always quite the task. I bought the dark blue color and it is bright and didn't fade in the washer or dryer.
