Alok Industries — bh&g cotton blanket

I'm unhappy with this blanket because it "pills" terribly. This is 100% cotton, nice weight for summer, and a beautiful shade of gray. However, before using i laundered (Single unit) as per instructions, and it came out of the dryer full of loose, pill-type sheds of blanket. I laundered again, and it didn't help at all. Clearly, this blanket was made with inferior cotton portions. I'm surprised that bh&g would market this on their label.
