Lowen Wool Plain Polyester Throw - Natural

The Lowen throw is a brushed wool-blend blanket in a soft natural beige, made from 10% wool and 90% polyester. It measures 130 x 170cm, a single-throw size that drapes over the arm of a sofa or folds neatly across the foot of a bed. What sets it apart is the finishing: a hand-worked blanket-stitch trim runs the full way round the edge, and each corner carries a jumbo tassel worked in the same warm cream yarn. The wool in the blend gives it genuine warmth to sit under; the polyster majority keeps the weight down and makes it easy to launder at home.

This is a throw for the living room first of all, laid over a sofa or an armchair where the corner tassels catch the light and the stitched edge shows. At 130 x 170cm it is generous enough to wrap around one person on a cold evening yet not so large that it swamps a chair. The neutral beige ground sits happily against most upholstery colours, so it works as an extra layer on a bed as readily as a sofa throw, and the earthy tone means you are not tied to a single scheme.

The face is brushed, which is what gives it that soft, slightly hazy surface you can see in the weave. The blanket-stitch trim is a traditional edging that both frames the cloth and protects the edge from fraying, and the oversized tassels are a relaxed, tactile flourish rather than a fussy one. Because polyester makes up most of the blend, it takes a gentle machine wash and dries readily, though we would keep the tassels in mind and treat it kindly. It sits comfortably alongside the other pieces in our Lowen range.

What is the Lowen throw made from?

It is a wool blend of 10% wool and 90% polyester, so you get the warmth of wool with the easy-care and lighter weight that a high polyester content brings.

How big is it and what will it cover?

It measures 130 x 170cm, which is a single-throw size that suits a sofa, an armchair or the foot of a bed and wraps comfortably around one person.

What are the tassels and the stitched edge?

Each corner has a jumbo tassel in a warm cream yarn, and a classic blanket-stitch trim runs right around the edge, framing the cloth and helping guard against fraying.

Does the brushed surface mean it is soft to sit under?

Yes, the face is brushed to give a soft, hazy surface, and the wool in the blend adds real warmth for cold evenings and slower mornings.

Will the natural beige suit my room?

The neutral beige is an easy earthy tone that sits well against most upholstery and bedding colours, so it layers into a scheme rather than dictating one.
