Candar Plain Polycotton Throw - Cocoa

The Candar throw is a boucle-woven blanket in a deep cocoa brown, finished with a knotted fringe along its short ends. Boucle is the looped, nubby yarn you can see clearly across the surface here: it gives the cloth a textured, slightly bobbled face rather than a flat weave, and that is what catches the light in soft ridges when the throw is folded or draped. It is made from a polycotton blend, 60% polyester and 40% cotton, and measures 130 by 70cm, a single-throw size that suits one person on a sofa or dressed across the foot of a bed.

This is a plain, minimalist piece meant for layering rather than for making the loudest note in a room. The warm brown sits happily against cream and natural linen bedding, pale walls and wooden furniture, and it works equally well slung over the arm of a chair as it does folded at the end of a bed. Because there is no pattern to fight with, it is an easy way to add depth and texture to a neutral scheme, or to warm up a space that leans cool. The fringe gives it a relaxed, informal finish rather than a tailored one.

The blend is worth understanding when you buy. The cotton content brings softness and breathability, while the polyester adds resilience and helps the throw keep its shape and resist creasing over time, which is why a polycotton wears well through regular use and washing. The looped boucle face means it is best kept away from anything that could snag the yarn, such as buckles or claws. The knotted fringe is part of the design and gives the throw its casual, textured edge. The supplier does not provide care instructions for this item, so we would treat it gently and check with us if you need guidance.

What is boucle and how does it feel?

Boucle is a looped, nubby yarn that gives a soft, bobbled surface rather than a smooth one. It feels textured and cosy, with visible loops across the face of the throw.

What is this throw made from?

It is a polycotton blend, 60% polyester and 40% cotton. The cotton brings softness and breathability while the polyester adds resilience and helps it resist creasing and keep its shape.

How big is the Candar throw?

It measures 130 by 70cm, which is a single-throw size. That suits one person on a sofa, an armchair drape, or dressing the foot of a bed rather than covering a whole double.

Will the looped surface snag?

Any boucle with visible loops can catch on sharp edges, so we would keep it clear of buckles, jewellery and pet claws to protect the yarn and the fringe.

What colour is it?

It is a deep cocoa brown throughout, a warm earthy tone that sits well with cream, natural linen and wooden furniture in a neutral room scheme.

Is the fringe attached or removable?

The knotted fringe is part of the throw, worked into the short ends as a fixed decorative edge. It gives the piece its relaxed, informal finish.
