Manoj Floral Cotton Throw - Multi

This throw is a generous piece of 100% cotton, printed with a dense, painterly floral pattern of open blooms, small sprigs and broad leaves in a multicoloured palette that reads soft rather than loud. The cloth has an open, textured weave, so the print sits slightly broken across the threads and has the gently faded look of a much-loved old fabric, while the reverse is left plain. At 152cm long and 127cm wide it is a true throw size: large enough to cover your knees on the sofa or lie across the foot of a bed, yet easy to fold over the arm of a chair. It weighs 0.78KG, so it is a light, airy cotton rather than a heavy winter blanket.

Lay it along the back of the sofa in the living room, drape it across an armchair, or fold it at the end of the bed in a guest room. It sits well with natural materials: rattan, cane, wicker and weathered wood all suit the warmth of the print. Because the cotton is light, it is a throw for the in-between months: spring evenings in a conservatory, a cool summer night with the window open, or an extra layer on the bed in autumn. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves a cottage-garden look or a house full of pattern.

The floral pattern is printed onto the cotton, and the edges are finished with a stitched hem. Care is simple: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting and takes a medium iron for a smoother finish, though the soft, relaxed crumple of a loose cotton weave has its own charm. To style it, let it fall loosely from the back of a chair rather than folding it flat, so the floral face and the plain reverse both show.

What is the throw's material?

It is 100% cotton in a light, open weave with a softly textured feel, with the floral pattern printed onto the fabric.

Can it go in the washing machine?

Yes. It can be machine washed at 40 degrees and tumble dried on a low setting, then ironed on a medium heat if you like a smoother finish.

No. The floral print is on one face only and the reverse is plain, which looks lovely when the throw is draped loosely or a corner is folded back.
