This blanket was such a nice surprise! Very lightweight, which is what we needed for summer. With the loose weave I figured my fat old cat would destroy it in one season as she jumps/claws her way up onto the bed, and I could live with that for the price I paid for it. However, to my surprise, it looked great at the end of the season, unlike most of the light woven blankets I have bought in the past. I will definitely get a few more seasons out of it. We'll see if the cat is that lucky!
