Is this throw warm enough for winter?

It is a lightweight polyester fleece, so it suits cool evenings and indoor napping rather than cold-weather bedding. For real warmth, layer it over another blanket.

How does it compare with a cotton or wool throw?

Polyester fleece is softer and lighter than cotton and much cheaper than wool, but it breathes less and can pill. Cotton and wool hold up better over years of washing.

This one is 50 by 60 inches, a standard throw size that covers a lap or drapes over a chair back. Larger sizes exist in the line for beds.

Can it be machine washed?

Yes, polyester fleece is machine-washable. Wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble low, since heat and friction speed up pilling.

Does the leopard print fade?

The print is on synthetic fleece, which holds dye reasonably well. Washing cold and avoiding high dryer heat helps keep the brown and black contrast sharp.

Our take on the Merrylife Black, Brown Leopard Polyester Throw

The Merrylife Leopard Throw is a polyester fleece blanket in a brown and black leopard print, sized 50 by 60 inches. It is a lightweight decorative layer for a couch, bed or chair, and the print makes it a statement piece rather than a neutral one. Against solid fleece throws it stands out on looks, not on fabric: polyester fleece is warm and soft but thinner and less breathable than cotton or wool blends. Owners rate it well overall, and most praise the softness and the bold pattern; the common complaints are that it is thin and sheds or pills with washing.
