I was excited to find a solid color throw that was not fleece...more difficult than you might think...so when this was thrilled when this was delivered.  It came in a plastic zip pouch and it smelled terrible when I took it out.  It was a gift for my mother so I didn't want to wrap it up as it was so I washed it per the instructions and line dried it.  It had all this fuzz on it when it came out of the washer (yes, I washed it by itself).  It took me a good 30 min to pick the fuzz off but other than that it smelled good and looked better.  After one weekend of use I was helping Mom pick up the living room and I refolded the throw...it had stretched out on one side.  It is like a cotton sweater so maybe I should have expected it to stretch out but not this bad!  Otherwise it is a good weight and it is soft...just wish it washed and held its shape better.

Pros: Soft, Good Weight
Cons: Does not wash well, have to line dry and it strecthed out of shape.
