Acorn Tonal Jacquard Cotton Blend Throw - Brick

This is a jacquard-woven throw in a warm brick orange, patterned all over with a two-tone botanical design of oak leaves, acorns and slender foliage set against a pale cream ground. The pattern draws on the historic 1879 Acorn design from the William Morris archive, and the jacquard weave carries it right through the cloth rather than printing it on the surface, so the motif reads on both faces. It measures 130 x 170cm, a single throw size that suits one person on a sofa or drapes neatly over the end of a double bed.

It is a piece for the living room above all, thrown over the arm of a sofa or folded across an armchair, and it works just as well laid along a bed for an extra layer through the cooler months. The brick orange has real depth to it, so it sits happily with natural wood, warm neutrals and terracotta tones, and it lifts a plainer sofa without asking anything else in the room to change. If you like a heritage pattern with a bit of warmth to it, this is an easy way to bring one in.

The cloth is a cotton blend, 62% acrylic and 38% cotton, which gives it a soft, faux-mohair handle and a bit of weight without being heavy to lift and move about. The edges are finished with a fringed trim, visible along the ends of the throw, which frames the pattern and gives it a relaxed, unfussy finish. The acrylic content means it holds colour well and stands up to regular use, while the cotton adds breathability to the mix. A generous everyday throw that earns its keep in a busy room.

How big is this throw and what will it cover?

It measures 130 x 170cm, which is a single throw size. That is enough to wrap one person on the sofa or to lay across the foot of a double bed as a top layer.

What is the throw made from?

It is a cotton blend, 62% acrylic and 38% cotton. The mix gives it a soft, faux-mohair feel with a little weight, while the acrylic helps it hold its colour through regular use.

Is the pattern woven in or printed on?

The pattern is jacquard woven, meaning the two-tone design is built into the cloth itself rather than printed on top, so the motif shows on both faces of the throw.

Does the design appear on both sides?

Yes. Because it is a jacquard weave, the acorn and foliage pattern reads on both faces, with the colours reversed from one side to the other.

What colours and rooms does it suit?

The brick orange sits well with natural wood, warm neutrals and terracotta tones. It is most at home in a living room over a sofa or chair, and works equally as a bed layer.

What is the fringed edge for?

The fringed trim runs along the ends of the throw. It frames the woven pattern and gives the piece a relaxed, softly finished edge rather than a plain hem.
