First off, let me just say - this throw blanket has become my go-to for everything. Whether I'm binge-watching Netflix on the couch or adding a pop of color to my bedroom, it's perfect.
The texture is what got me first. That knitted geometric pattern? So much nicer in person than in photos. It's got this subtle elegance that makes my basic IKEA sofa look designer. And the fringe edges? Chef's kiss.
I was worried about the 'lightweight' description meaning cheap, but no - it's actually genius. I keep one draped over my office chair for those Zoom calls where I want to look put together (from the waist up). When I get chilly, it's just enough warmth without making me sweat like heavier blankets do.
Washing was a pleasant surprise too. After three washes (because, let's be real, I've spilled coffee on it twice), the color hasn't faded one bit. Pro tip: wash it alone the first time - no color bleeding at all.
The size is Goldilocks-perfect - big enough to cover my legs on the couch but not so huge it swallows my queen bed. I've even taken it to outdoor concerts as a stylish picnic blanket that folds up tiny in my tote.
My only tiny gripe? I wish the navy was slightly darker - it's more of a denim blue. But honestly, it grew on me. Now I'm eyeing the aqua color for my guest room...
