Fruitta Cotton Throw - Multi

This is a woven throw printed all over with a fruit stall's worth of shapes: pineapples, lemons, bananas, watermelon slices, strawberries, pears and citrus slices, scattered between little leafy sprigs. It is multicoloured, with a chunky tassel finishing each corner. At 160cm long and 130cm wide it is generous enough to wrap a child on the sofa, and big enough for a grown-up's lap too. The fabric is a cotton-rich blend, 75% cotton with small amounts of polyester, viscose, polyamide, acrylic and wool, and the whole throw weighs 1.05KG.

We think it belongs in a child's bedroom or playroom, laid across the foot of the bed, draped over the side of a toy box or pulled across a lap at story time. The print is cheerful without being babyish, so it can stay in use as a child grows, and it sits just as happily on a family sofa through the cooler months. Cotton is soft and breathes well, which makes a cotton-rich throw a comfortable layer for an afternoon nap or a long read in any season.

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 creases need attention, which matters for anything that lives in a busy child's room. The fruit is printed onto the cloth, and the textured weave shows through the print, giving the pattern a soft, slightly rustic look rather than a flat, glossy one. For styling, pair it with plain bedding in a single quiet shade and let the fruit do the talking, or fold it over the arm of a reading chair so a tassel hangs at the front.

Can it go in the washing machine?

Yes. It can be machine washed at 40 degrees, tumble dried on a low setting and ironed on a medium heat when it needs a press.

Not at all. It suits a child's bedroom or playroom best, but at 160cm by 130cm it is just as comfortable over a grown-up's knees on the sofa.
