Heavy Chenille Eyelet Velvet Throw - Olive

This is a heavy chenille velvet throw in a deep olive green, woven entirely from polyester. The face has the short, dense pile that gives velvet chenille its particular hand: a fabric that reads as soft and matt from a distance and catches the light along its folds up close, so the same olive shifts between warm gold and darker moss as the cloth drapes. It comes in two sizes, 130 x 180cm and 150 x 200cm, the smaller made for a single sofa seat or the end of a bed and the larger generous enough to cover a two-seater or drape a double.

A throw like this earns its place over the back of a sofa or an armchair, ready to pull across your lap in the evening, and it works equally as a layer folded across the foot of a bed. The olive sits in the muted, earthy part of the palette, so it settles happily against warm neutral walls, natural wood and other greens without competing. If you are dressing a room around it, the weight and the plain colour mean it reads as texture rather than pattern, which is why it sits calmly alongside busier cushions or a patterned rug.

The cloth is polyester throughout, which is what makes it hard-wearing and quick to settle back into shape after use, and it holds its colour well against daily handling. Being a single plain weave, there is no right or wrong side to worry about when you throw it over a chair. It is finished with a plain hemmed border, visible along the edge in the photographs. As a plain, weighty piece it is a quiet foundation for layering, and the same throw in the larger size is worth considering if you want it to cover more than a single seat.

What is this throw made from?

It is 100% polyester woven as a chenille velvet, which gives it a soft, dense pile face and makes the cloth hard-wearing and resistant to everyday knocks and pulls.

Which size should I choose?

The 130 x 180cm suits a single armchair or the end of a bed, while the larger 150 x 200cm is generous enough to cover a two-seater sofa or drape across a double bed.

Does the throw have a right and wrong side?

No, it is a plain single-faced piece with a chenille velvet surface, so you can drape it either way over a sofa or chair without a reverse to hide.

What colour is it really?

It is a deep olive green that shifts between warm gold and darker moss as the pile catches the light, so it looks slightly different depending on how it is folded and lit.

Will it work with patterned cushions and rugs?

Yes, because it is a plain colour that reads as texture rather than pattern, it sits calmly next to busier cushions or a patterned rug without competing for attention.
