Pratello Throw - Yellow

Our Pratello throw is a woven yellow throw with a leafy pattern of round flower heads and paired leaves, set on a lighter ground and repeated in neat rows across the whole cloth. It is 160cm long and 130cm wide, a generous size for wrapping round your shoulders on the sofa or laying across the end of a bed. The yarn is a blend of 51% polyester, 35% cotton, 8% viscose, 3% acrylic and 3% wool, and the throw weighs 1.3KG, so it has a pleasing weight on the lap. A long, knotted fringe finishes the short edges.

It is made for the places where you sit and settle: thrown over the arm of a sofa, draped across a rounded armchair, or folded at the end of the bed on cooler nights. The yellow brings warmth to pale upholstery and white walls, and it sits easily beside natural wood, linen and boucle. Because the pattern covers the whole surface, it still looks good bunched up rather than folded flat. Hung from a peg rail in a hallway or porch, it stays ready for an evening outside or a chilly reading hour by the window.

The cloth is woven rather than printed, so the pattern is part of the fabric, and the reverse carries the same design in lighter tones. 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 to smooth out any creases from folding. Polyester holds its shape well through regular washing, which suits a throw that is pulled about every day, while the cotton keeps the hand soft. To style it, lay it loosely over a pale sofa with the fringe hanging at the front, and add a cushion or two in a plain weave so the pattern has room to breathe.
