I picked this blanket bc it looked very nice and was midweight. It arrived packaged beautifully, I love a product that’s thoughtfully packaged. Its a beautiful light grey color, so soft and had a nice sheen upon opening. Excellent midweight, perfect for all weather except deep winter for me.It does snag! My mini dashie sleeps with me and I noticed right away that her claws were catching, causing snags and upsetting her, her claws sometimes got stuck and it was an ordeal. So I made a little cotton cover using a pretty cotton quilting fabric I had, sized to cover the general area she sleeps on. It has helped a lot to prevent pulls.We recently had some renos done at home which created a lot of dust, I machine washed/dried the blanket and the lovely softness and sheen are gone. It also shrank substantially, not unexpected from pure cotton. It also sort of tightened up, the loose weave is close now, again not unexpected from cotton. It’s still a great blanket, just mentioning in case someone doesn’t know how much cotton will shrink and slightly change after machine washing. A good cotton blanket will last years and be laundered many times too, I don’t expect this will shrink much more in future, the initial washing and drying usually does most of the shrinking.Overall this is a great blanket for the price and I highly recommend it, even more if you don’t have cats or dogs sleep on it, if you do just expect snags, not a fault of the blanket.
