Lark Plain Cotton Throw - Pecan

The Lark throw is made from four layers of pure cotton muslin, and that layering is what gives it its character. The gauze is loosely woven, then bonded in fours and washed, so the surface draws up into the soft crinkled texture you can see across every fold. It is finished with a frayed edge on two sides, left deliberately raw rather than hemmed, which softens the outline of the cloth when it is thrown open. This is the Pecan colourway, a warm reddish brown that sits between terracotta and rust.

A throw like this earns its place at the foot of a bed or along the back of a sofa, where it reads as an extra layer you reach for rather than a fixed part of the scheme. The four-layer muslin has real weight and breathability at once, so it is light enough for a summer evening on the sofa and warming enough over a duvet in the cooler months. The warm pecan tone works with natural woods, cream and stone walls, and softer pinks and greens if you like a little contrast.

Being 100% cotton, it washes and wears the way cotton does, growing softer with use and taking a wash without fuss. The crinkled muslin needs no pressing, which is part of the point of the relaxed finish, and the frayed edges are meant to stay a touch feathery rather than neatened away. This throw comes in two sizes: the standard 130 x 180cm suits a single throw over a chair or the end of a bed, while the larger 240 x 260cm is generous enough to cover a double or dress a larger sofa. The Lark range runs across several soft earth and neutral tones if you are matching to a room.

What is four-layer muslin and how does it feel?

It is several layers of loosely woven cotton gauze bonded together and washed, which gives a light, soft cloth with a crinkled surface that has more weight than a single layer.

Are the frayed edges meant to be like that?

Yes. Two sides are finished with a deliberate raw frayed edge rather than a hem, so a little feathering along those sides is the intended look and not a fault.

Do I need to iron it?

No. The crinkled muslin texture is part of the design, so it looks right straight from the wash without any pressing.

What size should I choose?

The 130 x 180cm standard suits a chair or the end of a single bed, while the 240 x 260cm oversized throw covers a double bed or dresses a larger sofa.

What colour is Pecan?

It is a warm reddish brown, sitting between terracotta and rust, that works well with natural wood, cream and stone tones in a room.

Is it really all cotton?

Yes, it is made from 100% cotton throughout, which means it is breathable, grows softer with washing and handles everyday use without any fuss.
