Description
This is a soft fleece throw in a warm honey yellow, printed all over with a repeating bumblebee design set among sprigs of pink clover and pale foliage. It measures 130 x 150cm, which is throw-sized rather than blanket-sized: enough to drape over the arm of a sofa, cover your legs in an armchair, or lay across the foot of a bed as an extra layer. The whole thing is made from 100% polyester fleece, so it is lightweight in the hand but holds warmth well against you.
A throw at this size earns its keep in the living room first. Fold it over the back of a sofa and it is there for the evening when the heating has gone off; open it out and it comfortably covers one person curled up with a book. The honey ground is bright without being loud, and the bee-and-flower print reads as countryside rather than nursery, so it sits happily in a grown-up sitting room as well as a child's. It works over a plain sofa or a plain bedspread where it can do the talking, and pairs with soft pinks and greens picked out of the print itself.
Fleece is the point here: it is the reason the throw feels soft straight away and warms up quickly once it is over you, and polyester means it keeps its shape and colour through regular use without the weight of a wool blanket. The bee print is a full repeat rather than a single motif, so it looks considered from any angle when it is bunched or folded. If you like the design, it is worth folding it so the bees show. A gentle, everyday piece to add texture to a room.

Frequently Asked
How big is this throw and what will it cover?
It measures 130 x 150cm, which suits one person on a sofa or armchair, or laid across the foot of a bed as an accent rather than a full covering.
What is the throw made from?
It is 100% polyester fleece, which is why it feels soft to the touch straight away and warms up quickly once it is over you.
Is the bee pattern printed on one side only?
The design is printed, so the pattern shows on the fleece face. The photographs show the printed side, which is the side you display.
Does it work in a child's room as well as a living room?
Yes. The countryside bee and clover print and the soft honey yellow read as gentle rather than childish, so it suits a grown-up sitting room and a nursery equally.
Is it a heavy blanket or a lightweight throw?
It is lightweight fleece rather than a heavy wool blanket, so it is easy to fold over a sofa and quick to warm up, while still holding heat well.
