Vinay Cotton Throw - Multi

This woven cotton throw is a picture in cloth: broad waves roll across one end, while large leaf fronds and soft abstract shapes fill the rest, all in a multicoloured palette that shifts as it folds and falls. It is 160cm long and 130cm wide and weighs 1.1KG, a generous size with real substance in the hand. The yarn is a blend of 54% cotton, 36% polyester, 9% viscose and 1% wool. Cotton gives a soft, breathable feel, while polyester helps a woven cloth hold its shape through regular use and washing.

At 160cm by 130cm it is big enough to cover your lap and legs on the sofa on a cold evening, to wrap around your shoulders, or to lie across the foot of a bed. It drapes easily over the back of an armchair, with the fringed ends falling towards the seat and the leaf motifs falling into view. Because it carries many colours rather than one, it sits happily on a plain sofa, a cane or rattan chair or a wooden bench, and it brings pattern to a sitting room, bedroom or reading corner without needing anything else to match.

The pattern is woven into the cloth rather than printed on it, so the back carries the design too, in reverse. The edges are finished with fringe, and the ends have a multicoloured fringe that picks up the many shades of the weave. Care is simple: it goes in the washing machine at 40 degrees, can be tumble dried on a low setting and takes a medium iron. For styling, fold it in thirds over the arm of the sofa with the wave end showing, or throw it loosely over a chair back so the fronds and fringe fall freely.
