Originally bought two in chocolate for a summer cottage, not really thinking they would get a lot of use that time of year. But everyone loves them, especially the gals. The most common comment is, "it's the softest blanket ever," and everyone loves curling up under one on the couch. I wound up giving one to my mother-in-law, buying another as a gift for my sister-in-law, and getting one more for the cottage and one for home. So, it's a great throw for bed or couch, or sitting on the deck on a chilly night, super soft and comfortable.
