The Kantha Pick Stitch Yarn Dyed Cotton Cover is perfect to use as a blanket or a bed spread. It is soft and lightweight, but also warm & cozy. I like how it has the look of a quilt, with a clean fresh style that is not busy.  It is not bulky and it fits my king size bed perfectly, not to short and not to long. I like that it is soft and not stiff, like, some bed covers can be.
