Herringbone Throw - Blue

Our herringbone cotton throw is woven in blue with a lighter yarn running through it, so the zigzag pattern reads clearly at a glance and turns richly textured up close. It measures 160cm long and 130cm wide, a generous size for covering your lap and shoulders on the sofa or for folding across the foot of a bed. The yarn is a blend of cotton, polyester, viscose, acrylic, nylon and wool, and the finished throw weighs 1.14KG. A fringe of knotted tassels in the same blue finishes the edges and gives it a relaxed, homely look.

Laid over the back or arm of a sofa, it brings pattern and texture to plain upholstery, and it is just as much at home across an armchair in a quiet reading spot or folded on a bed in a guest room. Wrapped round your shoulders, it is a cosy layer for a cool evening with a book or a film. Because it is sized for one person, it suits a living room, bedroom, study or snug equally well, and it can move from room to room as the seasons change. It also makes a thoughtful housewarming or birthday gift: a throw needs no measuring and fits easily into almost any home.

The herringbone is woven into the fabric rather than printed on it. Care is simple: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting, and takes a medium iron if you would like the weave to lie flat and neat again after washing. That makes it a practical throw for a busy sofa, one that can be washed whenever it needs freshening. For an easy finish, fold it lengthways and hang it over one arm of the sofa with the tassels falling free, or gather it loosely in a basket beside your favourite chair so it is always within reach.
