Description
This is a cotton throw for a child's room, 160cm long and 130cm wide, woven with a textured surface and printed all over with flowers and cherries. Cotton makes up 72% of the fabric, with 21% polyester and 7% viscose in the blend. Cotton is soft and breathes well, which is what you want in a throw that gets used every day. The print is multicoloured, a scatter of small five-petal flowers, larger blooms and pairs of cherries on leafy stems, and the throw is finished with a chunky tassel at each corner and a line of small bobbles stitched in as a border.
At 160cm by 130cm it is generous enough to spread across a child's bed or wrap round a grown-up and a small person sharing a story on the sofa. In a nursery it softens a chair or hangs over the side of a bed; in a playroom it turns a floor cushion or a rug into a cosy reading corner. The print sits happily with rattan, bamboo and pale wood, and it is cheerful without being babyish, so it can move to the living room or a guest bed once the nursery years have passed. It also makes a happy gift for a christening, a birthday or a child's first proper bed.
Care is straightforward: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, tumble dries on a low setting and takes a medium iron, which matters for a throw that will be dragged round the house and built into dens. The reverse is plain, so the print stays on the side that faces the room, and the whole throw weighs 1.12KG. To style it, fold it in thirds over the back of a small chair with the tassels left hanging, or throw it loosely across the end of the bed so the cherries show.
