Marigold Jacquard Cotton Throw - Indigo

This is a jacquard-woven throw carrying the Marigold design, a swirling botanical pattern of blooms and long, feathered leaves. It measures 130 x 170cm, a single-throw size that suits one armchair or lays across the foot of a double bed without swamping it. The cloth is an acrylic and cotton blend, 62% acrylic and 38% cotton, and the pattern is built into the weave rather than printed on top, so the design reads clearly on both faces. Along its shorter edges runs a fringed trim in the same two tones. The colourway here is indigo, a deep blue-teal against a pale near-white ground, and the reverse carries the same design with the light and dark areas swapped, so you get two moods from one piece.

A throw at this size earns its keep across a room. Draped over the arm of a sofa it softens a hard line and gives you something to reach for on a cool evening; folded at the end of a bed it adds a layer of pattern without committing the whole scheme. The indigo works with warm woods and off-white walls, and it sits happily alongside other Morris patterns if you already have them, picking up the same drawn, hand-worked quality. It is a piece for a reading corner, a snug, or a spare room you want to feel considered.

The jacquard construction is what gives this throw its weight and its clear two-sided pattern; because the design is woven, not applied, it will not crack or peel with use. The acrylic in the blend adds warmth and helps the cloth hold its shape, while the cotton element brings a softer, more breathable hand. The fringed edges are left loose for a relaxed, informal finish. The Marigold pattern was drawn by William Morris in 1875, and this throw brings that archive design into a form you can actually live with day to day.

Is the pattern the same on both sides?

Yes. Because the Marigold design is jacquard woven rather than printed, it appears on both faces with the light and dark tones reversed, so either side can face up.

What size is this throw and what will it cover?

It measures 130 x 170cm. That is enough to drape over a single armchair or a sofa arm, or to lay across the foot of a double or larger bed as a decorative layer.

What is the throw made from?

It is a blend of 62% acrylic and 38% cotton. The acrylic adds warmth and helps the cloth keep its shape, while the cotton gives it a softer, more breathable feel.

Will the woven design wear away over time?

The pattern is woven into the cloth rather than printed on the surface, so it cannot crack, flake or peel with everyday handling and washing the way a printed finish can.

What are the loose threads along the edges?

Those are the fringed trim, left deliberately loose along the shorter edges for a relaxed, informal finish that is characteristic of a woven throw of this kind.

Does the indigo colourway lean blue or green?

In the cloth it reads as a deep blue-teal set against a pale, near-white ground, with the reverse showing the same tones swapped between figure and background.
