Oooooh So Soft!!!  They do take a bit of maintenance at first...quite a few washes to get those typical fuzz balls off, but that tends to come with any blanket that's fuzzy soft.  So worth it though, I have another blanket that's the same type & after over 50 washes, just on the underside, it continues to have some small, fuzzy balls; it's just at first when they "shed" them that you've got to wash through.  After that, it's so comfy...you don't want to get out of bed!
