I wanted a pink throw that was soft and felt like cashmere without the price. This throw was exactly what I was looking for. I was worried about the shade of pink since there's several to choose from, but when I opened the box and saw how absolutely beautiful the color was and soft the fabric was, it was defiantly a keeper. It's the sort of throw that looks and feels so luxurious that you're afraid to use it, but used it I did for naps on the couch. The fabric is a cotton/acrylic blend but it feels much more luxurious. It's a light to med weight, so it's perfect for all seasons. I was worried about the fabric piling, but so far no pills on it. I could not be more happy with it and want to get it in several more colors.
