Description
This is a woven throw made mostly from cotton, patterned with broad stripes in two shades of orange and finished with a knotted fringe along each short end. It measures 160cm long and 130cm wide and weighs 1.1KG, a generous size for draping over a sofa, an armchair or the foot of a bed. The blend is 67% cotton, 14% acrylic, 7% viscose, 7% polyester, 2% wool and 3% other fibres, so it is worth knowing about the small wool content if anyone in your home avoids it. Look closely and you will find tiny flecks of other shades caught in the yarn, which give the stripes a gently speckled look.
On a cool evening this is the throw to pull across your knees with a book or a film, and in the bedroom it can lie folded at the foot of the bed as an extra layer for colder nights. The warm orange stripes bring colour to a plain sofa and sit happily beside natural wood, linen and rattan. It also works in a hallway or a spare room, hung over a hook or a blanket ladder so guests can reach for it whenever needed.
The cloth is a dobby weave. A dobby weave builds a small, repeating texture into the fabric as it is woven, and on this throw it shows as a fine, pebbled surface across every stripe. Care is straightforward: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting, and takes a medium iron if you want the folds crisp. We like it folded lengthways into thirds and laid across one end of the sofa, with the fringe hanging loose over the arm.
