First off, I LOVE the color (Plum Perfect is such a rich shade). The waffle weave gives it this nice texture that's both stylish and functional.
The size is perfect - big enough to curl up under on the couch but not overwhelming. I've used it as both a couch throw and an extra layer on my bed during transitional seasons.
What surprised me most was how versatile it is. It's lightweight but somehow keeps me warm when needed, yet doesn't make me overheat. The organic cotton feels great against my skin - no weird synthetic itchiness!
After several washes (cold water, gentle cycle), it's held up beautifully. No fraying edges like some other cotton blankets I've owned. The color hasn't faded either.
My only minor complaint? It took a couple washes to get rid of that 'new blanket smell' when it first arrived. But now it just smells fresh and clean.
Would definitely recommend if you're looking for an eco-friendly, multi-purpose blanket that actually lives up to its promises!
