This throw comes labeled as a “decorative throw” and it’s definitely that. Not meant to be used, or even really touched. It is beautiful, but very light weight and very fragile. I put in the dryer on air-fluff for five minutes just to wake it up out of the package from China. It came out with threads hanging off everywhere, loops of yarn, snags! I got it somewhat cleaned up and it’s very pretty, just pretty poor quality.
