I’m really happy with this blanket. I like that it’s truly 100 cotton.  The gauzy appearance wasn’t noticeable to me until I washed it, but it washed up great and I love the texture.  It’s a thin blanket which is perfect for me as I am a warm sleeper.  I’m thrilled with this. The first two pictures are after it was washed and dried. The third picture is pre-wash.
