This is a great throw or blanket for both inside and out.  It is super soft and very well made.  It has a nice thickness to it so that if you spread it outside nothing will be sticking you.  It would also be great to spread over you on the sofa, or spread out for your kids to play on. It is very attractive.  I love that when it gets dirty, I can just throw in the washer.  I will definitely use this a lot.
