Description
This is a woven throw in a multicoloured stripe, 160cm long and 130cm wide, with a knotted fringe finishing its ends. The stripes are built from short, closely set stitches that give the surface a ribbed, textured feel, broken by wider plain bands that rest the eye between them. The yarn is a blend: 50% cotton, 39% polyester, 8% viscose and 3% other fibre. Cotton brings softness and breathability, while polyester helps a woven fabric keep its shape through washing.
At 160cm by 130cm it is a generous size for tucking around your legs on the sofa, and it folds neatly over the back of an armchair or lies flat across the foot of a bed. Keep it in the sitting room for cooler evenings, on a bench in the hall, or in a guest room where a spare layer is always welcome. Because the stripe mixes several tones rather than one block of colour, it sits easily with plain upholstery and with patterned cushions, and it suits a relaxed, natural-looking room as well as a more pared-back one.
The throw is woven and weighs 1.1KG, so it has some substance in the hand rather than the lightness of a thin wrap. Care is simple: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low heat, and takes a low iron if it needs smoothing. Give the fringe a gentle shake after drying so the knots and tassels hang straight. For styling, fold it in thirds along its length and lay it over one arm of the sofa with the fringe hanging free, or drape it loosely across a bed so the stripes run from side to side.

Frequently Asked
What is the fabric blend?
It is woven from 50% cotton, 39% polyester, 8% viscose and 3% other fibre, so cotton makes up half of the blend.
How big is the throw?
It is 160cm long and 130cm wide, a comfortable size for a sofa, an armchair or the foot of a bed.
Can it go in the washing machine?
Yes. The maker's care instructions say it can be machine washed at 40 degrees and tumble dried on a low heat.
Can it be ironed?
Yes, on a low setting only, as the maker's care instructions give a low ironing temperature for this blend.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 1.1KG, a throw with some substance, which is useful to know if you like a layer with a bit of weight.
Does it have a fringe?
Yes. The ends are finished with a knotted fringe, with the tassels left loose so they hang freely over the edge of a sofa or bed.
