The throws say to wash them first.  When I did, the orange balled up, and lint went every where.  Took them both outside to shake them, and I got hands full of lint !!!  I was going to return them, but I needed them now.  I am so sorry I kept them, everytime I pick them up lint gets on your clothes, couch, floor.....they are going in the dogs bed outside !!! DO NOT BUY THEM !

Pros: Pretty color
Cons: Balls up and lent is every where...
