Oooh, perfect on the couch with a cup of tea. Plus, if I had that, it would give me a good excuse to get rid of my boyfriend's old (read: stuffing falling out of) red and black, fake chinese comforter from college. I imagine this one smells better too. ;)

Re: washing corn.

Yes. Corn (and soy, bamboo, ramie, pine, Chitin, seacell, etc are all derived from sources (in this case: soy byproduct, bamboo, ramie, shrimp and crab shells left over, seaweed).

They can all be hand washed, lay them out to dry. You could dry clean them I supposed, but that would probably defeat the purpose of buying a "green" blanket.

I find it's really nice to have a variety of blankets to cuddle up with on the sofa... even if the house is a good temperature, it just feels cozier with a blanket over your lap. Especially when you wake up and it's 0 degrees outside (like today)!

Maize well give this a try--it looks so lovely and soft and warm, and my Mom's favorite color. If I win it, she gets it!

I'd love to give this cozy thing to my girlfriend--to replace the one our cat has claimed for her own. We love the cat but she does weave her own fur into things if we're not careful.

My husband's allergic to wool, so I'm knitting him corn socks. I bet he'd love to curl under this as well.

I just had to put my cat in the hospital yesterday; hoping she'll be released suddenly better by Monday but who knows. Would love for her to curl up on this on her favorite spot beside me on the sofa when she's recovering and I can be sure she's all warm and belovedly enveloped.

It may be corny, but we need this throw to Cover Our Red Noses.

Oh dear, I'm all out of puns.
Can anyone tell me a good one? I'm all ears....

I'd give this one to my mom, it's just her style.
