Full Review
The softest acrylic I have ever used for baby blankets; it doesn't feel scratchy at all.
The color selection is unmatched, making it the gold standard for temperature blankets and mandalas.
Holds its shape and vibrancy remarkably well even after multiple machine washes and tumble dries.
