Description
The Lark throw is made from four layers of pure cotton muslin, gathered into the soft, crinkled texture you can see across the whole cloth. That layering is the point: several fine, open-weave layers held together give you a throw that is light in the hand yet warm to sit under, with a puckered surface that catches the light rather than lying flat. The colour here is a soft pink clay, a warm dusty rose that reads as a gentle neutral rather than a bright pink. It comes in two sizes, a standard 130 x 180cm and a larger 240 x 260cm, so you can choose one for a single throw over a chair or the oversized one to cover a bed.
This is a throw for everyday use rather than a special-occasion piece. The standard 130 x 180cm size is right for draping over the arm of a sofa or folding across the foot of a bed, while the 240 x 260cm covers a double or larger bed as a light summer layer or a full bedspread. The muted pink clay sits happily with warm neutrals, natural wood and other earthy tones, and the range comes in several such shades if you want to layer more than one together. Being cotton, it breathes well, which makes it a comfortable choice to have over you on a mild evening.
Cotton is easy to live with: it washes well, softens with use and takes to a warm setting without fuss, which is what makes a throw like this practical for daily handling. Two of the sides are finished with a frayed edge, a deliberate soft fringe that adds to the relaxed, lived-in look rather than a neat bound hem. The crinkled muslin means small creases are part of the character, so it asks very little of you day to day. If you like the texture, the same throw is offered in a spread of earth-toned colours across the range.

Frequently Asked
What is the throw made from?
It is 100% cotton, woven as a four-layer muslin, which gives it the soft, crinkled texture you can see across the whole cloth.
How big is the throw?
It comes in two sizes, a standard 130 x 180cm suited to a sofa or chair, and a larger 240 x 260cm that covers a double or larger bed.
Which size should I choose for a bed?
For laying over a bed as a light cover or bedspread, the oversized 240 x 260cm is the one to pick, while the smaller size suits draping and folding.
What do the edges look like?
Two of the sides have a soft frayed fringe rather than a neat stitched hem, which is part of the relaxed, lived-in look of this throw.
Does the crinkled texture stay?
Yes, the crinkled effect is built into the four-layer muslin, so small creases are part of its character and it does not need pressing flat.
What colour is Pink Clay?
It is a soft, warm dusty rose that reads as a gentle neutral, sitting well with natural wood and other earthy tones in a room.
