Memmo Cotton Throw - Multi

This kids' throw is printed with an alphabet of big, bold letters, scattered in multicoloured shapes across a plain textured ground. Look closely and some of the letters carry animal markings, from giraffe patches to leopard spots and zebra stripes, so it reads as a picture to explore as much as a blanket. It measures 160cm long and 130cm wide, a size that suits a child's bed or wraps round two small people on the sofa, and each corner finishes with a chunky tassel. The fabric is a cotton blend: 66% cotton, 21% polyester, 10% viscose and 3% acrylic.

We like it best in a child's bedroom or nursery, folded at the foot of the bed, laid along a bench or kept in a basket for story time. The letters give a child something to point at and name, so it sits naturally beside picture books and early alphabet games. It is just as much at home downstairs as a lap throw for quiet afternoons on the sofa, or spread across a rug for floor play. Because the print is cheerful without being babyish, it can stay with a child as the room changes around them, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a birthday or a christening.

Care is simple, which matters for a throw that lives in a child's room: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting and takes a medium iron. Cotton is a breathable fibre, and it makes up most of this blend. The alphabet design is printed on the fabric, the throw weighs 1.22KG, and it falls in loose folds when draped over a bench or the back of a chair. For styling, pick out one of the shades in the print for a cushion or rug nearby and let the letters do the talking.
