Description
The Harlan is a borg sherpa throw in a deep olive green, finished along one end with a row of twisted tassels. Sherpa is a dense, curly-piled polyester fleece, and you can see it in the photographs: a thick, springy surface that reads more like a sheepskin than a flat blanket. The single size given is 140 x 180cm, which is a generous throw rather than a small lap blanket, long enough to cover a seated adult from shoulder to foot with room to spare.
This is a piece for the living room first of all. Fold it over the arm of a sofa, drape it across the back of an armchair, or keep it at the foot of the bed for the extra layer you reach for on a cold evening. The olive sits happily against warm neutrals and natural woods, and the piled texture does a lot of work in a room where most surfaces are smooth. Because it is one continuous throw rather than a fitted item, it moves easily from sofa to bed to reading chair as the seasons ask.
The throw is made from 100% polyester, which is the reason it behaves the way it does: polyester holds its loft, resists creasing and dries quickly, so a throw that lives in daily use keeps its shape rather than flattening or matting after a few weeks. The twisted tassels are set at one end and give the piece a relaxed, handmade edge rather than a plain hem. The supplier has not given care instructions for this item, so we would treat the fabric gently and check the sewn-in label before washing. Styled with a plainer weave cushion or two, the depth of the pile is shown off best.

Frequently Asked
What is a borg sherpa throw made from?
This throw is 100% polyester with a dense, curly sherpa fleece pile, which gives it that soft, sheepskin-like surface and a good amount of warmth for its weight.
How big is this throw?
It measures 140 by 180cm, a generous single size that covers a seated adult comfortably and works well folded over a sofa arm or across the foot of a bed.
Does the pile flatten with use?
Polyester holds its loft well, so the piled surface tends to keep its spring and shape better than a natural fibre would through regular everyday use.
What are the tassels like?
The throw is finished at one end with a row of twisted tassels, which gives it a relaxed, handmade look rather than a plain stitched hem.
How should I clean it?
The supplier has not provided care instructions for this item, so please check the sewn-in label on the throw itself before washing or drying it.
