Hedon Striped Polyester Throw - Navy

The Hedon throw is woven from 100% polyester in a navy and cream marl, with a subtle linear stripe running its length and a knotted fringe finishing each short end. At 130 by 180cm it sits in the useful middle ground for a throw: long enough to cover the length of an armchair or drape a two-seater sofa, and wide enough to pull over your legs on a cool evening without sliding off. The two-tone weave gives it a speckled, textured surface rather than a flat block of colour, which is why the navy reads as deep and lived-in rather than solid.

It is made for indoor and outdoor use, so it earns its place on a garden chair or a covered patio bench as readily as it does over the arm of a sofa indoors. The fringed ends and softly striped weave suit a relaxed, unfussy setting, and the navy sits happily against pale timber, natural rattan and warm neutral cushions. Keep it folded over the back of a seat where you can reach it, and it becomes the layer you grab when the temperature drops in the evening.

Polyester is the reason it works outdoors: the fibre holds very little water, so the throw dries quickly after a shower or a damp morning and resists the sagging that a heavier natural yarn would take on. That same quality makes it hard-wearing and easy to keep, and the knotted fringe is a decorative edge you will want to shake out and comb straight now and then rather than tumble roughly. It pairs simply with plain cushions and lighter throws, letting the stripe do the work.

Can I really leave this throw outside?

It is made for indoor and outdoor use, so it is at home on a garden chair or covered patio. We would still bring it in during heavy or prolonged wet weather to keep it fresh.

Why polyester rather than a natural yarn for outdoors?

Polyester absorbs very little water, so the throw dries quickly after a shower or damp morning and stays hard-wearing, which is exactly what an outdoor layer needs.

How big is it, and what will it cover?

It measures 130 by 180cm, long enough to run down an armchair or drape a two-seater sofa, and wide enough to pull over your legs on a cool evening.

What colour is it really?

It is a navy and cream marl, so the weave reads as a deep, speckled blue rather than a flat block of colour, with a paler knotted fringe at each end.

How do I look after the fringe?

The knotted fringe is a decorative edge, so shake it out and comb it straight by hand now and then rather than handling it roughly, and it will keep its shape.
