Received these blankets on time and in good condition. Upon unpacking, I wanted to wash the two blankets that I purchased due to the chemical dyes used in manufacturing before putting them out for family to use.
I washed them according to the care label. After a first wash and dry for both, the amount of pile and lint that came off was incredible. I couldn't hold them without being absolutely coated in the fibers. Drying didn't help, the lint fibers were stuck in balls all over the blankets. I literally had to lay them both out on the floor and use a lint brush on both sides of each blanket and comb off all the lint. I got about a cup of lint fibers from each one. Took about an hour. That being said, the blankets are generously big, which we love, and super soft, warm and yet lightweight. 
I just probably would not have purchased them had I known the work I would have to put into them. I got them on sale for $15 apiece, so I guess I should have expected as much. They are pretty.
