Description
This multicoloured cotton blend throw has a sense of humour: long, lanky cats stretch across the cloth, one striped and one spotted, their faces drawn in fine outline with wide, knowing eyes. A scalloped border runs along the edges, a band of blocks frames the whole piece, and soft tassels hang from the corners. On the reverse, simple stripes give the throw a quieter face when it is folded back. It measures 160cm long and 130cm wide, a generous size for wrapping round your shoulders on the sofa or laying across the foot of a bed, and at 1.24KG it has a reassuring weight in the hand.
We like it best in the living room, draped over the arm or back of an armchair or sofa, where the cats peer out from the folds and the tassels hang free. It works just as well folded at the end of a bed, over the back of a reading chair or kept in a basket by the sofa for colder evenings. The design is playful without being childish, so it sits happily in a grown-up sitting room yet would suit a teenager's bedroom or a busy family den just as well. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves cats.
The fabric is a blend of 45% cotton and 40% polyester, with small amounts of viscose, acrylic, polyamide and wool, and the finish is printed. Cotton gives a soft, breathable feel, while polyester helps a blended cloth keep its shape through repeated washing. Care is straightforward: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting and takes a medium iron, which matters for something that will live on the sofa and see daily use. For styling, let one tasselled corner fall over the front of a chair and echo the border's tones in a cushion or two nearby.
