Frello Striped Cotton Throw - Green

This is a woven throw in broad stripes of green, a paler shade running alongside a deeper one, finished at its ends with knotted tassels. It measures 160cm long and 130cm wide, a generous size for covering your knees on the sofa or folding over the arm of a chair. The cloth is a blend of 52% cotton, 24% polyester, 11% viscose and 13% other fibre, woven as a dobby weave, which gives the surface a small, pebbly texture you can feel under your hand. At 1.1KG it is easy to lift, shake out and fold.

Lay it over the back of an armchair, across the foot of a bed or along the seat of a sofa, and it brings a band of colour to a room that needs some. The stripes are wide enough to read from across the room, so the throw works well against a plain upholstered chair or a neutral sofa, where the greens have room to show. It suits a living room, a bedroom or a reading corner, and makes a thoughtful housewarming present for someone who likes a bit of pattern without anything fussy. On cooler evenings it is a practical layer to pull over your lap while you read or watch a film.

Care is straightforward. It goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting and takes a low iron to smooth out the folds. Cotton, the largest share of the blend, is soft and breathable against the skin. After drying, give the tassels a gentle shake and straighten them so they hang neatly. For styling, fold it in thirds lengthways and drape it over one arm of a sofa so the tassels hang free, or let it fall loosely across the corner of a bed for a relaxed, lived-in look.
