This throw is like the three bears porridge.  It's not to heavy, not too light but just right to cozy up on the sofa or to add a layer over your blanket on a chilly evening!  It's ultra soft and comfortable and when I received it, I immediately ordered two more in different colors for some other rooms in my home.  So affordable and so nice for the price.  Haven't washed yet but I'm not concerned!  I found the perfect throw!!
