I received a Vera Bradley throw blanket for my birthday. I made the HUGE mistake of washing it with some towels. You should see all the fuzz that is on those towels. I have washed and re-washed them to no avail. That fuzz just won't come off. If I had purchased this blanket, I would have returned it for a refund. I will never buy one of these for sure. Buyer Beware!
