Arni Throw - Multi

This is a generous woven throw, 160cm long and 130cm wide, made from a blend that is 44% cotton, with polyamide, polyester, viscose and a little wool making up the rest. The multicoloured front carries a large curved colour block design, and a thick fringe of mixed yarns finishes the edges. Fold back a corner and the reverse has a speckled weave of its own, so whichever side lands uppermost still looks good. At 1.8KG it is a substantial throw rather than a light wrap, with real weight in the hand.

At 160cm by 130cm it is big enough to cover your lap and legs on the sofa, or to wrap round your shoulders on a cool evening with a book. Fold it over the arm of a sofa or the back of an armchair so it is always within reach, or lay it across the foot of the bed as an extra layer on colder nights. The mixed tones sit comfortably with wood, rattan, wool and linen, so it suits a relaxed living room, a bedroom or a reading nook in a guest room. Because the reverse has its own weave, it also looks right folded on an open shelf or in a basket beside the sofa when it is not in use.

Care is straightforward: it can go in the washing machine at 40 degrees, into the tumble dryer on a low setting, and it takes a medium iron if you want to smooth the weave. Cotton is soft and breathable against the skin, while polyester and polyamide are hard-wearing fibres, so the blend suits a throw that gets used every day rather than saved for best. We like to let the fringe spill over the edge of the sofa and keep the cushions around it plain, picking out one of its own tones, so the curved design stays the focus.
