Ordered mine  in black. The Cara stitched pattern gives the black a soft appearance which breaks up the look of a solid black bedspread.   Looks beautiful -  feels  delicious  - does not shed - well made.  Using it as a blanket/bedspread.  It is light as a feather and keeps you toasty warm. It is lined with a very soft fabric.   Can be washed,  but I will dry clean it because the dryer always makes synthetic fur like fabrics get hard and loose their softness. 5 STARS
