- Is it warm enough to use as a real blanket?
- The wool plaid side gives it genuine warmth for sofa and bed layering. It is a throw, not a duvet substitute, so it suits cool evenings rather than cold bedrooms.
- Can I machine wash it?
- No. Silk and wool both need gentle care, so plan on dry cleaning or very careful hand washing in cold water. Machine washing risks shrinkage, felting and snagging.
- Which side do you use up?
- Either. The silk face is smoother and dressier, the wool plaid is warmer and more casual, so most owners flip it with the season or the room.
- How does it compare with a cashmere throw?
- Cashmere is softer against the skin. This one is more decorative and more structured, with the silk face and bold plaid doing the work that plain cashmere does not.
- What size is it?
- It is sized as a throw for a sofa, armchair or the foot of a bed rather than as a full bedspread. Check the listed dimensions before buying for a larger bed.
