So, first the many positives: This is a thin, lightweight, cotton blanket. It follows through on description. It's strong, tight weave, very snag resistant. It did not shed ridiculously in the dryer - just new-item expected amount the first time. Solidly made - it should last many years. Our only con was the texture was a surprise. The raised lines are definite ridges, giving the blanket a firmer/rougher feel than we expected. Not horrible, but good to know what you're getting. Overall a good lightweight blanket for a thin layer, wears like iron, just not cuddly soft.
