- Is this throw warm enough for winter?
- It is a light-to-medium layer, best for sofa use or over a duvet. For a cold bedroom, pair it with a heavier blanket.
- Can it be machine washed?
- Yes. Wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low. High heat is what mats the sherpa pile.
- Does the sherpa shed?
- Some shedding is normal at first. It tends to lessen after a few washes, but pilling can return with heavy use.
- What size is it?
- It measures 50 by 70 inches, enough to cover an adult on a sofa or to use as a bed topper.
- Is it safe for sensitive skin?
- It carries OEKO-TEX certification, meaning the fabric was tested for harmful substances. It is still polyester, so hot sleepers may find it clammy.
- Which side faces up?
- Either. The jacquard weave is the display side and the sherpa is the lining, but many owners flip it for extra softness.
