I have tried various throws and this one might be my favorite.  Some of the throws have such fluffy boucle yarns that loose fuzz gets on your clothes or the bedding.  But the Hanover design is woven tighter and this doesn't happen so it is much more functional.  I also like the fringe only on two sides instead of four which is more comfortable when using it as a blanket.  The color possibilities with the Hanover aren't as awesome (for me) as some other throws but the practicality of this throw makes it a definite winner.  I want a throw to be more than a pretty room accessory.
