Isla Plain Polyester Throw - Cream

The Isla is a woven throw in a soft cream, finished along its short ends with a row of twisted tassels. It is made from 100% polyester and measures 140 x 180cm, a single-size throw sized to sit across the end of a bed or drape over the arm of a two-seater sofa. The face is a loose, open weave with a slightly brushed, hazy surface, so the cloth reads as texture rather than pattern. It is a plain throw in the truest sense, with no print and no border, letting the weave and the fringe do the talking.

A throw of this size earns its place in a living room, where it can be folded over the back of a sofa ready to pull across your knees on a cold evening, or in a bedroom laid across the foot of the bed. The cream tone is a quiet, warm neutral that sits happily alongside oatmeal, stone and putty schemes, and gives a plainer room a bit of softness underfoot for the eye. Because it is light rather than heavy, it is the throw you reach for when you want warmth without weight across your lap.

The weave is open and airy, which is what gives the throw its lightness, and the twisted tassels are worked as a continuation of the same yarn along each end. Polyester holds its shape well and resists creasing, so the throw stays looking tidy through regular use. Take a little care with the tasselled ends, which can catch if pulled, and comb them straight with your fingers if they tangle. For a fuller, more layered look, drape it at an angle so the fringe falls loose rather than folding it square.

How big is the Isla throw and what will it cover?

It measures 140 x 180cm, which is a single-size throw. That is enough to lay across the foot of a bed or to drape over a two-seater sofa and pull across your lap.

What is the throw made from?

It is made from 100% polyester. Polyester is hard-wearing and holds its shape well, so the throw resists creasing and stands up to regular everyday use around the home.

Is it a warm throw or a light one?

The weave is open and airy, so it is light in the hand rather than heavy. It gives you warmth to pull over your knees without a lot of weight sitting across your lap.

How do I look after the tasselled edge?

The tassels are twisted from the same yarn as the weave. Comb them straight with your fingers if they tangle, and take care not to snag them, as an open weave can catch if pulled.

Does it come in a plain colour or a pattern?

This is a plain throw with no print or border. The interest comes from the soft woven texture and the fringe of tassels along each short end, in a warm cream tone.
