Heavy Chenille Eyelet Velvet Throw - Navy

This is a heavy chenille velvet throw in a deep navy blue, woven from 100% polyester. Chenille is a pile yarn, so the surface has the short, dense, catch-the-light nap you can see across the folds in the photographs, shifting between a darker and a lighter blue as the fabric moves. It comes in two sizes: 130x180cm and 150x200cm. The smaller size drapes a single bed or an armchair; the larger covers a two-seater sofa or the foot of a double bed with room to spare.

A throw like this earns its place in a living room, over the arm of a sofa or folded across the back of a chair, ready to pull over your knees on a cold evening. The navy sits comfortably against grey, cream and natural-toned upholstery, and its plain face means it reads as texture rather than pattern, so it will not fight an existing scheme. In a bedroom, laid across the foot of the bed, it adds a layer of weight and warmth without committing you to a colour across the whole room. Because it is one solid tone, it works as a quiet anchor beneath more decorative cushions.

The weight is the point here: this is a heavy chenille, so it has body and drape rather than the flimsiness of a lighter blanket. Polyester is hard-wearing and holds its colour well through repeated use, which suits a throw that gets pulled about daily. It is a plain, edge-to-edge piece with no fringe or trim, letting the pile do the work. The supplier makes matching eyelet curtains and cushions in the same fabric, so if you want a co-ordinated living space the pieces are there to pull together.

What is chenille velvet and how does it feel?

Chenille is a fabric woven from a pile yarn that gives a soft, fuzzy, velvety surface. It feels plush and dense to the touch, with a subtle sheen that changes as the light moves across it.

Which size should I choose for a sofa?

The larger 150x200cm size suits a two or three-seater sofa and drapes generously over the back or arm. The 130x180cm size is better for an armchair or a single bed.

Is this throw warm enough for winter evenings?

Yes. This is a heavy chenille with real body and weight, so it holds warmth well and is designed to be pulled over your knees on a cold evening.

What is the throw made from?

It is made from 100% polyester woven as a chenille velvet. Polyester is hard-wearing and holds its colour well, which suits a throw handled and moved about every day.

Does it have a fringe or trimmed edge?

No. It is a plain, edge-to-edge throw in a single navy tone, with the pile texture doing the work rather than any added fringe or border.
