Is this throw warm enough for winter?

It is a light layer. Most people use it over a sofa or as an extra layer on a bed; for cold rooms a fleece or quilted throw is warmer.

It measures 90 inches long by 66 inches wide, big enough to cover a sofa seat or the foot of a bed rather than a single lap.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low. Hot water and high heat are what cause the shrinking and wrinkling owners report.

Yes. Cotton and the open waffle weave breathe far better than polyester fleece, so it adds warmth without trapping heat.

It can. The waffle loops catch on claws and pull threads, so trim claws or expect some pilling on a pet-heavy sofa.

It feels a bit stiff at first. Owners say it softens after two or three washes.
