Description
This woven throw comes in a cotton blend, 160cm long and 130cm wide, with bands of multicoloured stripes running across its width. Each band is broken into short upright bars, so up close the stripes have a ribbed, almost stitched look, and from across the room they read as bold blocks of colour. The fabric is 45% cotton, 34% polyester, 12% viscose and 9% acrylic, and the throw weighs 1.1KG, light enough to fold over an arm and carry from room to room. A tasselled fringe finishes the ends.
At 160cm by 130cm it is a generous size for an armchair or a small sofa, large enough to wrap round your shoulders on a cool evening or tuck over your lap while you read. We like it just as much at the foot of a bed, folded across the duvet, as draped over the back of a reading chair. The mix of stripes brings warmth and colour to a plain or neutral room, and it sits happily beside natural textures such as rattan, wood and terracotta. It also makes a cheerful gift for someone setting up a first home.
The throw is woven, and care is straightforward: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting and takes an iron on a medium heat. After washing, give the fringe a gentle shake so the tassels fall straight again. Cotton is soft and breathable, and it makes up the largest share of this blend. For the best look, lay it loosely over one arm of a sofa rather than folding it flat, so the stripes fall into diagonals and the fringe hangs free.
