I haven't washed it yet as I just received it and wore it around the house to try it out, but I love it!  The ONLY  downside side is the pocket in the back for a hand warmer...I wish that wasn't there as I won't use it, and it makes it not reversible.  But since that was clearly put in the description, I'm not taking any stars off for it!  The fabric is soft, and will be just warm enough to wear anywhere!  It's not a warm "fleecy" type of fabric, but more just to take away a slight chill.  Perfect to wear as a scarf, shawl, or small blanket!  Wish it came in more fashionable colors so I could order more...I'd love a white, dark grey, and maybe even red or coral!
