This throw is beautiful, and it's really soft as well. It's heavy as well. It says it's for indoors or outdoors but I use mine indoors for lounging on the couch. It washes well but I haven't put it through the dryer yet, not sure if it will change the texture or shrink. But for now, it's held up well for day-to-day use and looks gorgeous thrown over the couch when not in use.
