This blanket is super soft and has a nice satin edge around it. I have both the standard and XL sizes in these throws. The standard size is not very heavy but very warm. I have throws from Barefoot Dreams and Ugg as well, but this blanket definitely tops both of them. Yes, it is pricey for a blanket and I have not washed it yet so I don’t know about how it will hold up over time, but right now it is the best blanket I have purchased.
I got the grey, X-large. Beautiful, lux, wth a nice heft, almost a 'light-weighted blanket.' Out of the package, I washed it on delicate (cold), dried it on extra low for 15 minutes, and then laid it out to dry, and it turned out perfectly soft, just like new. I love this blanket.
