Sooooo SOFT and snuggly!  Love that it is two sided. I had seen a review that it sheds a lot, but I think they were a little dramatic and over the top in their review. It really doesn't shed much at all.  It's furry, so you have to expect a LITTLE shedding, but I haven't noticed much shedding from the blanket at all.  This is the most snuggly throw blanket I've ever owned, and I may buy 1 or 2 more.  I like that it's  oversized as well, perfect size to snuggle on the couch with a glass of wine on a cool night.
