Mine was purple. And it looked so damn washable, I didn't check the label either. Only pure evil can lull one into such a huge laundry debaucle. Chenille is evil, only more difficult to spell.

My Grandmother sent us a box of baby stuff including a very nice Chenille baby blanket that we LOVED. Well being that I was not the most fashion/clothing savvy I just tossed the blanket in with her other baby clothes and washed on gentle without checking the tag. It was a NET when it came out of the washer and there were wads of pink fuzz on EVERYTHING. I was crushed. I showed my husband and he was all "how could you not check the tag!" etc. I called and told my grandmother and she actually apologized, said she didn't check the tag either since she just figured it was a baby blanket and you SHOULD be able to wash a baby blanket normally considering what could get on a baby blanket.
