This is a lovely throw.  I purchase the Teal colour and is just the right shade I wanted.  I washed it in the washing machine ( Front Load) on the delicate cycle and added fabric softener.  Then dried the throw in the dryer on delicate on medium high heat with Wool Dryer Balls.  It came out of the dryer perfect.  I'm using this lovely throw as a bed scarf at the end of our bed on top of our French linen duvet cover.  I'm very pleased with my purchase and I would purchase another in a heartbeat.  Thank you Wayfair for offering such nice products as this Cotton Throw Blanket.
