beautiful blankets BUT if you are the type that would want to wash them before, wash them separately and I would wash them alone.   Reason why, the blankets let off a lot of lint and its very hard to take off.  I sat for about an hour with a lint brush trying to take it off of each.  And they still have some on it but not as bad.   Remember its the price you are paying for but really adds a lot to your home!
