Description
The Ulsmere throw is built around an all-over oversized bouclé fabric, the kind of deep, looped texture that catches the light and sits heavy in the hand. It measures 130 x 180cm, a generous single-throw size that drapes over the end of a bed or the arm of a sofa with room to spare. The blend is 60% acrylic, 20% wool and 20% nylon, which is why it feels warm and springy rather than flat, and it is finished along the ends with a soft fringed trim. The colour here is a muted olive the supplier calls Lichen, an earthy green that reads warm rather than cold.
This is a layering throw first and foremost. It works over a plain white or cream duvet where the bouclé loops do the talking, and it earns its place across the back of a sofa in a living room that leans towards natural, understated tones. The olive green sits comfortably against beige, cream and warm neutral walls, and pairs naturally with linen-look bedding and softer velvet cushions. If you like a bed that is dressed in texture rather than pattern, this is the piece that adds it. The supplier makes a matching Ulsmere cushion, so you can carry the same bouclé texture across the room if you want a co-ordinated look.
The throw is reversible, so both faces carry the same bouclé texture and there is no wrong side to worry about when you fold or drape it. That reversible construction also means it wears evenly over time. The fringed ends are a soft trim rather than a chunky tassel, keeping the overall look relaxed and minimal. Because it is a wool-blend fabric, treat it gently and check the sewn-in care label before washing; wool blends generally prefer cool, careful handling to keep the loop structure intact. Styled simply against pale bedding or plain upholstery, it lets the texture carry the whole scheme.

Frequently Asked
What is the throw made from?
It is a wool-blend fabric, specifically 60% acrylic, 20% wool and 20% nylon, which gives it warmth from the wool and springy resilience from the acrylic and nylon.
How big is the Ulsmere throw?
It measures 130 x 180cm, a generous single size that drapes across the foot of a bed or over the back of a two-seat or three-seat sofa.
Is it the same on both sides?
Yes, it is reversible, so both faces show the same bouclé texture and there is no wrong side when you fold or hang it.
What is the fringed trim like?
The ends are finished with a soft fringe rather than a heavy tassel, which keeps the overall look relaxed and understated.
What does the bouclé texture feel like?
Bouclé is a looped fabric, so the surface is full of small raised curls that give it a deep, tactile texture and plenty of visual warmth.
Is there a matching cushion?
The supplier makes a co-ordinating Ulsmere cushion in the same bouclé texture, so you can layer the two for a pulled-together look.
