Plane Cotton Throw - Beige

Our plane throw is a beige blanket patterned all over with little biplanes, outlined clouds and small suns, and finished with a chunky tassel at each corner. It is 67% cotton, with 23% polyester and 10% viscose, so cotton leads the blend; cotton is soft to the touch and breathes well. At 160cm long and 130cm wide, and weighing 1.01KG, it is a proper throw rather than a scrap of a blanket, big enough to spread across a child's bed or to wrap round a grown-up's shoulders.

It belongs in a child's room, where the planes give the room a gentle theme without overwhelming it. Spread it across the end of the bed, fold it over a pouffe or reading chair, or keep it on the sofa for bedtime stories, when a young aviator needs something warm round the shoulders. The beige ground sits easily beside pastel cushions, striped textiles and pale wood, so it fits a bedroom or playroom that already has its own scheme. It makes a thoughtful present for any child who stops to watch every passing plane, and it is the kind of throw a grown-up borrows too.

Care is straightforward, which matters on anything that lives on a child's bed. It goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting and takes a medium iron, so muddy knees and grubby hands need not mean a trip to the cleaners. A medium iron gives a crisp fold, though a good shake leaves the textured surface looking relaxed and natural. For styling, fold it loosely in thirds and let one tasselled corner hang over the edge of the bed or chair, so a few of the planes stay in view.
