PHF Waffle Weave Blankets King Size

So, I’ve been using this great blanket for a few months now, and honestly, I really like so much about it. I didn’t have to deal with a lot of extra lint the first few times I washed it. I like the weight of the blanket because it’s not flimsy or thin, and at the same time, it’s not a super heavy blanket that would make me get too hot. It looks as if I got it on sale for a fantastic price. I like the appearance and the color I bought which is light grey. Although I made sure to buy a cotton blanket, I was expecting it to be more of a super soft knitted blanket, and it’s actually not knitted. It’s more of a type of fabric or cloth, with a waffle pattern. Almost like a lightweight bedspread. And it actually could be used as that as well. Although the way the blanket was made and feels is pretty different from what I was expecting from a blanket, I have really grown to love it a lot. It does seem to have a little bit of stretch to it. But the PROBLEM I do have that I don’t remember dealing with before in the past with blankets is this….it seems like every time I wash it, it shrinks just a little bit more! Lol I have zero idea WHY. So, I guess I’ll just continue to try to enjoy it until it shrinks too small for me to use on my full sized bed. My mattress is a little more thick for comfort reasons, but since this blanket is supposed to be appropriate for queen sized beds, I remain perplexed. IF I would have never washed it, I guess it would have been the perfect size and stayed the perfect size. Unfortunately, though, I really do like to have clean bedding. Hope this is helpful!
