Description
The Arvo throw is a woven cotton and polyester blanket built around texture rather than pattern. Strands of vertical boucle yarn run down the piece, sitting proud of a flatter woven base, so the surface has raised, nubbly rows you can feel as much as see. It measures 130 x 180cm, a generous single-person size that will cover you on the sofa or lie across the end of a double bed. Both short ends finish in a soft fringed trim, tied off into tassels. The colour here is a warm natural cream, the palest in the range.
This is a throw for a living room where you want something to reach for in the evening, or a bedroom where it works as a top layer folded at the foot of the bed. The tonal, texture-led look sits comfortably with modern neutral schemes, pale walls and natural materials like rattan, oak and stoneware. Because the interest is in the weave and the fringing rather than a bold print, it layers happily over a plain sofa or against patterned cushions without competing. It is equally at home draped over the arm of a chair or bundled into a basket by the fire.
The cloth is a 50% cotton, 50% polyester blend. The cotton gives it a soft handle and breathability, while the polyester adds resilience and helps it hold its shape through regular use and washing. The supplier describes it as easy care. The boucle texture and the fringed ends are the details to enjoy here, so shake it out and let the tassels hang freely after washing. Sold as a single throw in the natural colourway, with coordinating muted tones available across the wider Arvo range should you want to layer more than one.

Frequently Asked
What is the Arvo throw made from?
It is a 50% cotton, 50% polyester blend, so you get the soft, breathable feel of cotton with the added durability that polyester brings.
How big is it and what will it cover?
It measures 130 x 180cm, which comfortably covers one person on the sofa or lies neatly across the foot of a double or larger bed.
Does it have a pattern?
It is a plain, tonal throw with raised vertical boucle yarn strands running down it, so the interest comes from texture rather than colour or print.
What are the edges like?
Two ends carry a soft fringed trim tied into tassels, while the other two sides are finished plain, giving it a relaxed, handmade look.
How should I care for it?
The supplier lists it as easy care. After washing, shake it out and let the fringed tassels hang loose so they settle back into shape.
