Osasio Cotton Throw - Cream

This is a woven cotton throw in cream, 150cm long and 130cm wide, worked with a pattern of long, sweeping lines that run across it like loose brushstrokes. Two kinds of line make up that pattern: thick, raised ones with a looped, tufted pile you can feel under your hand, and fine stitched ones that trace slimmer curves between them. The ground is 100% cotton in a slubby, open weave, so the surface has texture even where the pattern stops, and the ends finish in a deep fringe of knotted tassels. At 1.3KG it has real substance when you lift it.

At this size it is a throw for one person: generous enough to lie over your knees on the sofa or round your shoulders in an armchair, and as useful folded across the foot of a bed as an extra layer on cooler nights. Cream sits quietly with most interiors, from pale oak and linen to deeper woods, so it settles into a living room, a bedroom or a reading corner. Cotton is a soft, breathable fibre, which makes a throw like this a good choice for the in-between seasons, and it is equally at home carried out to a garden sofa on a cool summer evening and brought back inside when the light fades.

Care is straightforward. The throw goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting and takes a medium iron where you want the weave smoother, although the texture has its own appeal left as it is. To style it, fold it in thirds lengthways over the arm of a sofa so the fringe hangs free, or let it fall loosely from one corner of the sofa back so the lines of the pattern run in long curves. It looks best beside plain linen cushions and natural wood, where the raised pattern can do the talking.
