Arvo Plain Cotton Throw - Plaster

The Arvo throw is a cotton and polyester blend woven with vertical strands of boucle yarn, which give it its textured, gently ridged surface. Set on a plain woven base, those raised loops run the length of the piece in soft columns, so the throw reads as quiet texture rather than a printed pattern. It measures 130 x 180cm, a generous single-throw size, and finishes in Plaster, a warm sandy beige that sits comfortably against pale walls and natural wood. Both short ends carry a knotted fringed trim, so the edges add movement as much as the surface does.

This is a throw for softening a room rather than making a loud change to it. Drape it along the back or arm of a sofa, fold it across the foot of a bed, or leave it loose over a bench or armchair where the fringe can hang. The muted, neutral tone works with the kind of pared-back scheme these throws suit best: greys, creams, raw timber and greenery. Because the interest is in the texture, it layers easily over plain cushions and bedding without competing with them, and it does the practical job of a throw too, ready to pull over your knees on the sofa.

The blend is chosen for a reason worth knowing: cotton brings the soft, breathable handle you want against the skin, while polyester adds resilience, so the throw holds its shape and stands up to regular use. It is an easy-care piece, which suits something you will reach for often. The boucle loops and the two fringed ends are best treated gently to keep them tidy over time. If you like the look across a room, the range comes in several muted tones, so a stack in complementary shades works well together.
