Candice Striped Christmas Throw - Multi

Candy canes in broad, curved stripes run across the front of this Christmas throw, printed onto a textured cloth with a finely striped reverse. The multicoloured print sits on a cotton blend of 45% cotton, 37% polyester, 8% viscose and 9% other fibre, giving the easy softness cotton is known for, with polyester helping the cloth keep its shape. At 160cm long and 130cm wide it is a generous throw size, big enough to wrap round your shoulders in an armchair or spread over your knees on the sofa, and it weighs 1.1KG.

This is a throw made for December. Drape it over the back of a reading chair by the window, fold it at the foot of the bed in a guest room, or keep it on the sofa for film nights through the Christmas holidays. The candy cane motif brings a festive note to a room without a box of decorations, and the striped reverse means it still looks right when a corner falls open the other way. It suits a family living room as much as a cosy bedroom, and it makes a thoughtful present for anyone who likes to bring out a few seasonal pieces each winter.

The motif is printed, and a tassel finishes each corner, so the throw looks complete whether it is folded or draped. Care is simple: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting and takes a medium iron, so it can be freshened up at home after the holidays and put away clean for next year. Our favourite way to style it is folded lengthways over the arm of a wicker or wooden chair with the tassels hanging free; against plain walls and natural textures the candy canes do all the work.
