There is a Dunelm shop just down the road from where we live so I do tend to go there to get household bits and bobs. When it was cold in November I went to Dunelm to get a throw, which would be multipurpose, I have used it on our bed, but also I sometimes sit in the lounge with it whilst watching tv.

I choose the creamy colour, as shown above as it matches my decor best, but it was also available in a deep red, green, black and a chocolate brown in the store I went to. It also comes in two sizes, small and large, I got the large one which is 220x220cm so big enough to act as an extra blanket on a double bed.

This throw is soft and cuddly - it really is a teddy bear. It feels really nice and is very cosy, keeping me very warm whether I am using over me whilst sitting on the sofa or on the few occasions I have used it on the bed. It is fleecy, ie. made from polyester, and I do find this material is very warm and efficient.

So far I have only washed it once on a 30 degree wash and then tumble dried on a low heat. This blanket washes very nicely, it's "fur" hasn't become matted, and what I really like about this blanket and fleece in general is that it dries very quickly, it's a super material to have around kids.

My large blanket was £19.99 but the small ones are cheaper at £9.99, about the size of a single bed, my sister has bought one which she uses to cover her dog's bed! This is a greet throw, or blanket and now I have it I wouldn't be without it!
