This throw is beautiful but...it sheds fuzzies all the time. The color is beautiful, it's very soft, but I don't think it will stay beautiful for long. I'm sure if I washed it half of it would end up in the lint trap. I also have cats who have gotten their claws stuck in the very loose weave.

If you don't have pets to snag it, if you don't intend to wash it, if you're just going to use it as a beautiful piece of decor to carefully toss over the back of a chair or sofa, then this throw is for you.
