I have been looking at the Lola blankets for a couple of months now. I was unsure if the hype was all it was cracked up to be. After a friend told me how much she loved hers and all the great things about it, I decided to buy one myself. Let me tell you, this is unlike any blanket I have ever encountered in my life!! It is slightly weighted, warm, and soooo cozy! It makes me happy when I use it. I'm buying one for every family member I have for Christmas. You will not be disappointed. Easy to wash and care for. It does not shed, which is a big plus!
