The blanket comes in a nice package: packed in a transparent plastic, enclosed by a red cord, like a gift package. The material is soft, fluffy, the passage of the hand reveals cute shades of color. We also particularly appreciate the net seams, without excess thread. From the perspective of the use of this # 1 cover, warm, my impressions are (barely) more mixed. If the blanket is comfortable for a cocooning evening watching TV, it is not thick enough to keep warm on its own. Laid over a duvet during a winter night, however, it can do wonders!
