this throw is super cute but smelled awful! i had to wash it 5 times before I could rid it of the smell. it also doesnt wash well. so many fibers came off. DO not wash this with anything else! also, dont brush up on it because it will go all over your clothes! I am using this for my fall mini photography sessions as an accent piece, so it should be fine for that but i wouldnt keep it in thr home to sit up against as it sheds everywhere!
