Description
The Ulsmere throw is built around an oversized bouclé texture, the kind of deep, looping pile that catches the light and gives a plain cloth real depth without any pattern to it. It measures 130 x 180cm, a generous single-throw size, and is woven from a blend of 60% acrylic, 20% wool and 20% nylon. The wool in that mix brings warmth and a soft hand, while the acrylic and nylon carry the bulk of the bouclé loops and help the piece hold its shape through use. In the ecru shown here it reads as a warm off-white, a soft creamy tone rather than a bright white.
This is a throw for layering. Folded across the foot of a bed or draped over the arm of a sofa, the heavy looped face does the work of adding texture to a room that is otherwise smooth and flat. It sits happily against linen bedding, plain cotton and the sort of pared-back, neutral scheme where one tactile piece earns its place. The fringed trim along the short ends gives it a relaxed, informal finish that suits an unfussy room. It pairs with the matching Ulsmere cushion if you want the look carried through.
The throw is reversible, so both faces are made to be seen and you can turn it whichever way suits the day. A soft fringed trim runs along the ends, woven in rather than added on. Because the blend is mostly acrylic and nylon with a portion of wool, treat it as you would a part-wool piece: gentle handling keeps the bouclé loops intact and the fringe tidy. It is a quiet, textural addition rather than a bold one, and it works best where you want comfort and a bit of surface interest without a strong colour or print competing for attention.

Frequently Asked
What is bouclé and how does it feel?
Bouclé is a looped yarn that creates a bumpy, textured surface. Here it is oversized, so the loops are generous and the throw feels soft and full to the touch.
Is there any wool in this throw?
Yes. The blend is 60% acrylic, 20% wool and 20% nylon, so the wool adds warmth and softness while the acrylic and nylon carry the bouclé loops.
How big is it and what is it best used for?
It measures 130 x 180cm, a good size for draping over a sofa arm or laying across the foot of a bed as a layer for extra warmth.
Is the throw the same on both sides?
It has a reversible design, so both faces are finished to be on show and you can use whichever side you prefer.
Does it come with a matching cushion?
There is a matching Ulsmere cushion available separately if you would like to co-ordinate the throw with a cushion in the same range.
