Have you washed it? Did it shrink or bleed? Did it retain the vibrant colors?

I washed the afghan as I usually do with colored clothes (i.e., warm wash with cold rinse) and noticed no deterioration of color nor any shrinkage. I have several of this kind of throws and have had good success with all of them.

It's been washed 3 times, it didn't shrink or bleed. The colors are like new!

Yes, I washed it and it looks great. The colors stayed and it did not shrimk. I love it!

I have not washed it, but I see no reason why it can't be washed on a gentle cycle and then just fluff dry. I wouldn't want to shrink it as it is just the right size for a standard ironing board right now.

No, and I've bought several other sizes also. Did you take it apart and wash it thoroughly before using?

In my experience, it hasn't shrunk at all. I usually line dry it, but it snuck into th dryer once or twice and was fine. Hope that helps!

We washed and dried it before putting it on our queen-sized down comforter...no noticeable issues with shrinkage or fading.

Yes. I have washed it several times already and also dried it in the dryer. It always looks good after it is washed and dried.

i just washed it, and dried it low. but, when i took it out of the dryer, it looked as though a part or the blanket had folded over in the dryer, and the black print bleed over to a white part. so, maybe do not dry it in the dryer. wish i would have known before. good luck.

Kim ~ I have always thrown mine in the washing machine with clorox.It does not lose it's shape or shrink; however, I do not put mine in the dryer.I have probably washed mine 20 times without any problems.

I have washed and dried mine twice. It did shrink some the first time, I only partially dried it and then finished with line drying. It may shrink more if you completely machine dry. Note that it is longer than wide so striped run wide way. I LOVE this spread personally.

I purchased a red one and have used it and washed it multiple times. It did NOT fade.

I have washed it a few times in the washing machine on gentle, warm (not hot!) water and even dried it in the dryer on very low heat :) It came out great each time.

I haven't. I only used it once so far but I didn't wash it the same day and when I fina got around to it, it came clean really easy. No staining.

Funny you should ask, I just washed mine for the first time and it was fine. I have truly enjoyed this comforter and consider it a good value.

I wash in hot water (no bleach, just Tide) and dry thoroughly and have not had any noticeable shrinkage. GREAT stain release! These are not designer kitchen towels, they're the WORKHORSE of commercial kitchens and should be he same in yours.

I really love my bedspread. I have washed it twice and it has not shrunk one bit. I hope this is helpful.

I washed it last night. There is a padded board in the seat that comes out the front (one snap). Tag says machine wash delicate. Drip dry. I dried it (no time to wait) and it survived.
