Soft, beautiful!
»
The Columbia brand is well known for quality sportswear. So it was with high expectations that I ordered this fleece throw.
My expectations were met -- and then some. This is a lovely throw, nicely finished, that washes well.
I got it in the Vine Paisley Print -- a soft brick color with a subtle gold paisley pattern. It goes beautifully in my earthtone living room (cinnamon, bronze, gold, and hints of cream).
The throw weighs almost nothing -- I don't like really heavy throws -- but works beautifully to counter the occasional draft. It is SO soft -- just like plush silk. Unlike some other fleece throws, there is NO shedding at all, and no pilling, either. I've washed mine a couple of times since I got it 5 weeks ago (I have two cats who have decided they REALLY like sleeping on it), and it comes out of the dryer looking like brand new.
Amazon's price is the best I've seen anywhere. This would make a wonderful gift -- there are very workable colors and prints that should go with most decors. (I'll be purchasing another in Bone very soon!)

Very nice and soft

This is an exceptionally soft blanket. Large enough to cover the average-sized person neck to toe. I bought this during the Friday sale for $10, well worth it. I only wish I had bought more for that price. I use it for my new puppy to sleep on. She loves it. Now I want one for myself.

Columbia makes bedding like their clothing - great!!
»
I saw these on a Friday sale and being a bedding fanatic I picked up a few. I thought I would put one at the bottom of my bed on top of my other throw since it is so cold outside. I bought Spruce (on bed now), Honey, Cedar, and Vine Paisley. I was surprised at the quality right out of the box. After washing it and drying it I was more impressed. A lot of my other throws burn in the dryer since they are made with nylon or cheap materials. This throw came out so soft and looked brand new! The best part no pulls and no shedding! I have seen Columbia clothing and decided to give the bedding a try and am glad I did. The spruce throw covers the bottom of my queen bed well and the colors I bought compliment my bedding, an added bonus. I noticed tonight the "O" store has these in stock for $17.99 plus shipping. Buy one for a Christmas gift and nobody will know what you paid. Not only does it look and feel like quality but the name says it all. Great value, I am happy I found these.
