The blanket it nice and heavy and the weave is tight but the downside was the lint that came from it. I washed it gently as directed and my washer was full of stuck on lint. Put it in the dryer and ran it for 15 min at a time and emptied the lint basket each time. Still lint coming out when dry so ran on 10 min settings 8 times emptying the lint basket each time. There was a full gallon ziplock bag of very fine cotton lint. I dont want it on my bed linting off like that so running it another time and hope it is just about finished. The description should have informed the customer about the lint problem or been prewashed to remove it. Disappointed with the work involved before I can use it.
