Sylvie Cotton Throw - Multi

Our Sylvie throw is a children's blanket printed with a cheerful scatter of abstract shapes: jug-like figures with sleepy faces, dots, squiggles, drops and curves, all in a multicoloured palette. It measures 160cm long and 130cm wide, a generous size for wrapping round a child on the sofa with room to spare. The fabric is a mixed-fibre blend of 47% cotton, 31% polyester, 10% acrylic, 8% viscose, 2% wool and 2% polyamide, and the throw weighs 1.17KG, so it has some substance in the hand.

It is made for a child's bedroom or playroom. Fold it across the end of a bed, drape it over a bench or the arm of a reading chair, or spread it out on the floor as a spot for games, picture books and stories. At its size it also suits the family sofa on film nights, big enough to wrap a small child or to share between two. The busy, cheerful print sits happily beside plain bedding or a patterned rug, and it brings a bit of character to a room without asking for anything else to match. It also makes a thoughtful gift for a new bedroom or a birthday.

The motifs are printed onto a textured fabric, with fine lines running through it and a chunky tassel finishing each corner. Care is simple: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on low and can be ironed on a medium setting, which suits a throw that will be dragged from room to room and washed often. For styling, fold it in thirds over the foot of a bed so the tassels hang free, or let it fall loosely over a bench or chair back where it can be grabbed at bedtime. The styling props shown are not included.
