First off, this blanket is GORGEOUS. The light grey herringbone weave looks so chic and instantly elevated my bedroom decor. It arrived in this cute fabric bag – major unboxing vibes!

The softness is unreal right out of the package. Like snuggling into a cloud but with that perfect midweight feel. I've used it through fall and spring perfectly, though I'd layer it in deep winter.

Fair warning to pet owners: my cat's claws did snag the fabric. I ended up sewing a little protective cover for her sleeping spot which solved the issue. Not the blanket's fault though – just cotton being cotton!

After washing (cold water, low tumble dry), it did shrink about 10% and lost some initial sheen, but that's expected with 100% cotton. The texture actually got even softer with washing, just more 'lived-in' cozy than 'new blanket' shiny.

At this price point? Absolute steal. Comparable cotton blankets go for twice as much. Already planning to buy another in sage green for summer!
