I bought three of these throw blankets to throw over an old sofa, and they are very pretty. The lilac color is more muted than the picture. It's actually a soft lilac which is beautiful. They are very soft. Beware if you have pets. They will love them, but they snag their claws on them and because it is a knitted blanket, they pull easily.Two of the three blanket that I purchased already had some pulled yarn when I took them out of the bag.

Pros: good value; very soft
Cons: not very pet friendly
