I purchased a couple of these throws to replace the heavyweight blankets we keep out during winter. I love the coloring and the rustic look against my furniture. However, the texture is a bit rough. I know these will be more decorative because of the summer months. They also arrive with a bit of a stench. The first one came spelling of perfume or some kind of chemical and the other smelled like warehouse -ha. A quick wash and letting them line dry seemed to help. Becareful with jewelry or things that may snag the hand woven knots/material.
