I have been a huge faux fur snob for decades, I counted 18 throws and blankets in my house, I've tried Unhide, Saranoni, Pottery Barn, etc but NOTHING compares to the softness of this blanket. It is silky and lightweight but warm. I immediately ordered another one, this time the weighted version for my bed, I can not wait to get it! With the discounts I can afford them, even though they are pricey, they are worth every penny!!
