Fruits Knitted Polyester Throw - Berry Sweet Blue

This is a lightweight knitted throw in a soft, chambray-like blue, scattered with embroidered strawberry motifs in bright red with a green calyx and little white seed stitches. Made from 100% polyester, it measures 130 x 180cm, which is a generous single-person layer: long enough to drape over a sofa arm and reach across your lap, and wide enough to wrap around your shoulders on a cooler evening. One long edge is finished with a run of cream tassels, giving the piece a relaxed, informal feel rather than a tailored one.

A throw this size sits well folded over the back of a sofa or armchair, draped along the foot of a bed, or kept within reach of a reading chair. The pale blue ground is easy to place against neutral walls and natural woods, and the embroidered fruit gives it a cheerful, country-kitchen character that suits a relaxed living room or a bedroom that leans playful rather than formal. It works as a decorative accent as much as a practical layer, and the light weight means it folds down small when you are not using it.

The knit is light and open, which is what makes it a layering piece rather than a heavy blanket, and the embroidery is worked directly onto the cloth so the strawberries sit slightly raised against the flat weave. Being polyester, it is hard-wearing and holds its colour well, and the tasselled edge is best handled gently so the strands stay neat. It is one of a wider Fruits range of embroidered throws, with lemon and orange motifs offered alongside this berry design, so you can pick the fruit that suits your room.

What is this throw made from?

It is made from 100% polyester, a hard-wearing synthetic that holds its colour well and is easy to keep looking fresh with regular use.

How big is it and what will it cover?

It measures 130 x 180cm, which is a generous single layer, ideal for draping over a sofa, a chair or the foot of a bed.

Are the strawberries printed or embroidered?

The strawberry motifs are embroidered directly onto the cloth, so they sit slightly raised against the flat knit rather than being printed flat.

Is this a warm, heavy blanket?

No, it is a lightweight knit designed as a layer or a decorative accent rather than a heavy winter blanket, so it folds down small.

Does it come in other designs?

Yes, the Fruits range includes lemon and orange embroidered motifs alongside this berry design, so you can choose the fruit that suits your room.

How should I look after the tassels?

Handle the tasselled edge gently so the strands stay neat and do not tangle, especially when folding or storing it away.
