I was looking for a very thin, lightweight blanket for the summer time in AZ. This blanket is a little heavier weight than I had wanted.   However, this is perfect for fall, winter, and spring! Very well made medium weight blanket.. I bought a navy blue and washed it before use, detergent and color catchers. Glad I did as there was a lot of lint in the dryer filter and some running that the color catchers soaked up.  It looks great on my bed.
