Tweedie Herringbone Polyester Throw - Green

The Tweedie throw is woven in a herringbone pattern and finished with a brushed yarn fringe along its short ends. It measures 130 x 180cm, a size that drapes comfortably over the arm of a sofa or lies across the foot of a double bed with enough length to tuck around your legs. The fabric is 100% polyester, which means it holds colour well and stands up to regular use without the shrinkage or fading you would nurse a natural fibre through. The chevron weave gives the surface its texture, catching the light differently as the zigzag changes direction.

This is a throw for the rooms you actually sit in. Over the back of a settee it reads as a soft, textured layer rather than a flat panel of colour, and the green and cream herringbone sits easily against neutral walls, wooden furniture and plainer upholstery. It works folded at the end of a bed for an extra layer on cooler nights, or draped over a reading chair where the fringe hangs loose. Because polyester keeps its shape, it goes back to looking tidy after a fold or a shake.

The weave is a two-tone herringbone, the green and cream yarns alternating to build the chevron, and the brushed finish softens the surface into something with a little nap to it. The fringe is made from the same yarn, twisted and left loose at the edge. Polyester is easy to live with day to day: it does not crease the way linen does, and it takes a shake to settle back into shape. Handle the fringe gently when you move it so the loose ends stay neat.

What is the throw made from?

It is made from 100% polyester, a hardwearing fibre that holds its colour and shape well and stands up to everyday use on a sofa or bed.

How big is the Tweedie throw?

It measures 130 x 180cm, long enough to drape over a two or three seater sofa or to lie across the foot of a double bed.

Will it fit a single or double bed?

At 130 x 180cm it works as a layer across the foot of a single or double bed rather than a full cover, adding warmth and texture where you need it.

What does the brushed finish feel like?

The brushed yarn gives the surface a soft nap with a little texture, so the herringbone weave feels warmer to the touch than a flat woven cloth.

How do I look after the fringe?

Handle the twisted yarn fringe gently when moving or folding the throw so the loose ends stay neat and do not tangle over time.

What colours does it come in?

This throw pairs a soft green with a cream ground in a herringbone weave, a combination that suits neutral, wooden and plainer furnishings.
