This blanket is LOVELY. It's so soft and cozy.  Keeps me warm.  I have not seen a shedding problem as some reviews have mentioned.  I got the cream one so I would think I'd notice if it were shedding because I have dark sheets and a dark couch.  It's great! I just ordered another one for myself so I don't have to carry the one I have up and downstairs all the time and I ordered one for a christmas present!
