The great thing about this blanket is not only is it beautiful, handmade and eco-friendly, but it's the perfect texture. Too often baby blankets are silky slippery things that are supposed to look cute but are impractical. This blanket is soft and snuggly without being slippery. Plus, it's not your typical "baby blanket" so you'll want to keep it on your couch when baby is all grown up!
