I needed a decorative throw to drape over the sofa back in a formal living room. Regardless the price, I was unable to find exactly the right thing until locating this.  This throw's nubby knit provides an interesting texture, offset by extra long fringe. The yarn is "fluffy" and very soft. It does not have the characteristic appearance of acrylic/polyester.  I wanted a "noncolor" color to slightly accentuate colors in the room so selected the "Meadow." It is positively beautiful and rivals any high end brand. This color is barely tinged greenish with bits of bluish gray throughout - very elegant.  Finally, it is on the small side, meaning it drapes beautifully as an accent piece.  Looks like the size would need to be bigger were it to be practically used as a small blanket. 5 stars on this one for looks, quality and price!!
