This WOULD have been a lovely blanket had it not continually shed all over everyone and everything that walked past it!  The "detail" info. on the website claims that it should be either machine washed OR dry cleaned.  I tried BOTH but to no avail.  This lint is so fine that once it gets "airborne".... you have to clean every surface in the entire room.  It IS extremely soft but our allergies can't take it anymore!!!
