Harrow Plain Polyester Throw - Rust

The Harrow Throw is a plain flannel fleece throw made from 100% polyester, and it measures 140 x 180cm. That is a generous single throw size: long enough to cover the length of an adult on a sofa, and wide enough to drape across a two-seater or fold in half over the foot of a bed. The photographs show a warm rust orange, an earthy burnt-terracotta tone that reads deeper in the shadows of the folds and a touch lighter across the flat pile.

A fleece throw like this earns its keep in the rooms where you actually sit still. Keep it over the arm of the sofa in the living room for evenings in front of the television, or lay it across the end of the bed as an extra layer you can pull up on a cold night. The plain, single-colour finish means it is easy to place: it sits happily against neutral walls, natural wood and other autumnal tones, and the rust shade brings warmth to a scheme without competing with a patterned cushion or rug. Being lightweight, it is as useful in a summer sitting room as it is in the depths of winter.

Polyester fleece is the reason this throw feels soft and stays that way. The fibre is hard-wearing and holds its plush surface through repeated use, and it does not absorb water the way a natural fibre does, so it feels warm quickly and dries fast. The single face of dense short pile you can see in the close-up is what gives it that cosy hand. Fold it neatly when it is not in use and the pile settles back flat. It comes as one throw at 140 x 180cm in this rust colourway.

What size is the Harrow throw and what will it cover?

It measures 140 x 180cm, which is a single throw size. It will drape over a two-seater sofa or lay across the foot of a double or larger bed as an extra layer.

What is the throw made from?

It is 100% polyester, made up as a flannel fleece with a soft plush pile on the surface. Polyester is hard-wearing and holds its texture well through everyday use.

Is a polyester fleece throw warm even though it is lightweight?

Yes. Fleece traps air within its pile, so it feels warm quickly without being heavy, which makes it easy to use across the year rather than only in deep winter.

Does the fleece feel damp or take a long time to dry?

Polyester does not absorb water the way natural fibres do, so a fleece like this feels dry to the touch and dries relatively quickly compared with a cotton or wool blanket.

What colour is it and what does it suit?

It is a warm rust orange, an earthy burnt-terracotta tone. It works well with neutral walls, natural wood and other autumnal shades, adding warmth without overpowering the room.
