I was a bit concerned with all the reviews about the blankets shedding but I bought them instead. I bought 2 red ones and havent had an issue with shedding. Only light shedding in the dryer but thats expected. So I bought my daughter the grey one. That one was a nightmare. It shed horribly from the dyer to everything it touched. Drove me crazy since it was like fine hairs everywhere. It went back very quickly. It seems like if you like it and the price your taking your chance on what quality youll end up with.
