I like to have several of these around and wash them regularly, they are a favorite of mine and my dog who loves the sleek side in summer and the Sherpa side in winter. I like that it isn't terribly big because it makes it easier to wash. It's more of a throw than a blanket in my opinion-around 60" x 70" but that was what I wanted and makes it easier to wash often. It is perfect for us and offered at a good price for the quality. I got the cream colored one and it is a very light cream almost a winter white color with white Sherpa.
