This is my 3rd set from Barrel Studios (Aeden) and my 1st of this design. I went out of my comfort zone and got teal. I saw another buyer turned the stripes a different way. Love it. Its light enough for the summer heat of Texas,but still thick enough where I'm not sweating all night for the cool night. Time for the next color. Lol. oh, washing on a gentle cycle and drying gently, you're good. I bought the Cal King size even though I have a queen bed. I like for it to drape over a little. enjoy!
