Ugento Leaf Cotton Throw - Green

This woven throw carries a bold green leaf pattern, the fronds running in tall overlapping rows across the whole cloth, and a knotted fringe finishes its ends. It measures 160cm long and 130cm wide, a generous size for wrapping round your shoulders on the sofa or laying across your knees in an armchair. The cloth is 70% cotton, 23% polyester and 7% viscose. Cotton gives a soft, breathable feel, polyester adds strength and helps a fabric keep its shape, and viscose lends a gentle drape, so the throw falls in easy folds rather than sitting stiffly. It weighs 0.85KG, light enough to carry from room to room whenever wanted.

In a living room it suits the arm or back of a sofa, or an open-framed armchair, where the fringe can hang free and the leaf pattern shows at its best. It works just as well folded at the foot of a bed in a guest room or main bedroom, ready for cooler evenings, or hung from a hook in a hallway so it is to hand when someone settles down with a book. The green leaf pattern sits happily beside houseplants, rattan and natural wood, and it brings a little life to a plain sofa without competing with patterned cushions.

The throw has a woven finish, and its leaf pattern is built up in the yarns themselves, which gives the surface a fine, textured look. 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 when you want crisp folds. For a relaxed look, fold it lengthways and let it fall over one arm of the sofa so a fringed end hangs loose; for a tidier finish, fold it into a neat stack at the foot of the bed with the fringe facing outwards.
