To use your Berroco Hearthside Mowbray blanket, simply spread it out on your couch or bed and snuggle up for a cozy time. When it comes to maintenance, you can gently hand - wash it in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing it out to prevent damage. After washing, lay it flat to dry. Don't expose it to direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the colors. Also, keep it away from sharp objects to avoid snags.
