We ordered two of these- taupe and grey. They are soft and the cable design is appealing. The description said machine wash but the tag said dry clean. I washed them anyway and they both came out beautifully clean and soft and held their shape. The grey one is draped over the end of our guest bed for a splash of color, and the taupe throw adorns the arm and back of our leather love seat in the living room. Would definitely buy again.
