So cute and comfy! Looks just like a little baby fawn on my couch. My dog loves to fluff it and sprawl out in the coziness! So soft and perfect size.

Highly recommend
Color: Tie-dye Brown, Size: Throw (50" x 60")
My favorite blanket for cold nights! So soft! I’ve washed it several times and it does not shed. The quality doesn’t not disappoint. The size is perfect for curling up (not for sharing).

Luxurious feel
Color: Light Brown, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This blanket is soft and fuzzy. It has a little weight to it so it’s great to snuggle up on the couch with. Double lined makes it feeling luxurious. Haven’t noticed any shedding yet I’ve had it for a month and have washed it a couple times.
