LOVE the clean, classy look of this throw, as well as the weight. I took it to the hospital when my 2nd child was born, and it was warm, and the perfect size. Unfortunately, it is extremely fragile, for lack of a better word. The fringe the design is made up of falls off very easily. Ive only washed this twice, on delicates, in my washer that has no middle agitator, for fear of losing even more. Because of this, it has become a beautiful, useless throw, hanging on my blanket ladder. I wanted to love this throw 100 percent, especially for the price, but its not functional.
