I love this. Its a true basic weave 100% linen throw... made by Jaipur (a high quality Indian textile manufacturer, loved by designers). It's a soft, light "rose quartz" (warm) pink. A tad darker then what my photo reads. A "right on trend blush pink." Its hand is light weight, perfect for a breezy summer night. It's quite soft (I do not use fabric softners) and perfectly washes/dries (gets a bit softer each time). This did lighten a touch upon its 1st washing. As you can see, I bought it to protect a new sofa from hairy cats!
