It is unfortunate that the term microfibre sounds so technical because it is describing a fabric that is not cold or austere, but is something that is remarkably good looking and unusually comfortable. Blankets made from microfiber are incredibly durable, resistant to shrinking and fading, very soft, warm and extremely snugly! They make a good layer in a bedding arrangement but can also work on their own as a throw or full bed blanket too.
