Lark Plain Cotton Throw - Khaki

The Lark throw is made from four layers of cotton muslin, and that layered construction is the whole point of it. Muslin is a loosely woven cotton, and stacking four plies of it gives you a cloth that is airy and light in the hand but still has body and warmth, with a soft crinkled surface that catches the light. Two of the sides finish in a frayed, understated edge that has been left deliberately raw rather than hemmed. Ours comes in a muted khaki green, a warm earthy tone that sits somewhere between olive and moss. It is available in two sizes: a standard 130 x 180cm, and a larger, oversized 240 x 260cm for a bed or a bigger sofa.

A throw like this earns its keep across the house. The standard size is right for draping over the arm of a sofa or folding across the foot of a bed, while the oversized version is generous enough to pull right over a double or to share on the sofa on a cold evening. The crinkled muslin drapes softly rather than sitting stiff, so it falls into easy folds wherever you leave it. The khaki green is quiet enough to work against neutral bedding and pale walls, and it sits happily alongside deeper blues and other natural tones.

Because it is 100% cotton, it is breathable and washes well, which matters for something you will actually use rather than just look at. The four-layer muslin means it stays light while still feeling substantial, and the frayed edges are part of the relaxed, lived-in look rather than a flaw to tidy away. Fold it loosely over a chair, let it trail off the end of the bed, or keep it to hand on the sofa. If you want to layer tones, it works well next to the deeper colourways in the wider Lark range.

What is cotton muslin and why four layers?

Muslin is a loosely woven, lightweight cotton. Layering four plies together keeps the throw airy and soft while giving it enough body to feel warm and drape well.

What size should I choose?

The standard 130 x 180cm suits a sofa arm or the foot of a bed, while the oversized 240 x 260cm is generous enough to pull over a double bed or share on the sofa.

Are the frayed edges meant to be like that?

Yes, two of the sides are finished with a deliberate frayed edge rather than a hem. It is part of the relaxed, understated look and not a fault.

Will the khaki green go with my room?

It is a muted, earthy green that sits well against neutral bedding, pale walls and natural tones, and it pairs comfortably with deeper blues too.

Is it easy to look after?

It is made from pure cotton, which is breathable and copes well with regular use, so it is a practical throw for everyday draping over a bed or sofa.
