Description
Our Pontino throw is a cream woven piece with printed stripes laid across it and a full tassel tied at each of its four corners. It measures 160cm long and 130cm wide, a generous size for wrapping round your shoulders on a cool evening or spreading across your knees with a book, and it weighs 1.277KG. The fabric is a blend of 51% cotton, 20% acrylic, 11% polyester, 7% viscose, 6% polyamide and 5% wool, and the close weave gives it a nubbly, textured surface you can see as well as feel.
Draped over the back of an armchair or folded along a hallway bench, it brings a layer of soft texture and gentle colour to a living room, bedroom or reading corner. At this size it suits one person curled on the sofa, or it can lie folded across the foot of a double bed as a light extra layer for chillier nights. The cream ground keeps it calm, so the stripes carry the colour without overpowering a room, and it sits happily in both a pared-back scheme and a more layered one. It also makes a thoughtful housewarming or birthday present for someone who likes a soft throw within reach.
The stripes are printed onto the woven fabric, and care is straightforward: it can go in the washing machine at 40 degrees, be tumble dried on a low setting and be ironed on low. Cotton is soft and breathable and wool is naturally warm, so a blend like this one earns its place through much of the year. The styling props shown are not included. Our tip: fold it in thirds lengthways and lay it across the end of the bed with two tassels hanging at each side, or let one corner fall over a chair arm so its tassel swings free.
