kind of bummed

I buy throws to add accent color to rooms. However, I also like them to be functional. I have a couple that are cashmere like acrylic with a weave that makes them solid, good for looks, good for laying on top of you while watching tv, reading a book, etc., in cool (not cold) weather.. This throw is very pretty and the color is a very nice dusty blue. But, there is no way anyone can consider it functional besides for looks. In the pictures they give you can not see how open of a weave it is. From the pictures I did expect textured but thought it would be on a more solid weave. The weave is so open and the throw so light there would be no point in wrapping it around you or laying it on the top of you. For now it is draped on an ottoman as accent color but I'm not sure it would stand up to feet resting on it, even though it is folded. I do like the textured look of it, so I may later double it with a less expensive solid throw.
