Walton Waffle Check Linen Throw - Linen

The Walton is a waffle-weave throw built around a soft grid of raised squares, with a fringed trim running along its edges. It measures 130 x 180cm, a single-throw size that sits neatly folded over the arm of a sofa or laid across the foot of a double bed. The waffle structure is what gives it its character: the weave lifts into a regular checked pattern of little pockets, so the surface reads as gentle texture rather than a flat cloth. The version shown here is a pale, warm off-white, the softest of the shades in the range.

This is a layering piece rather than a heavy blanket. Drape it over a reading chair for a cool evening, keep it folded on the end of the bed for an extra layer, or use it to soften a plain sofa. Because the ground colour is so quiet, it settles easily against most schemes, from natural linens and pale timber to warmer terracotta or muted green rooms. The photographed stack shows it made in other colourways too, so it can be matched to a room rather than worked around.

It is made from a blend of 65% polyester and 35% nylon, which is the reason the waffle holds its shape and springs back after use rather than crushing flat. That blend also makes it hard-wearing, a practical point for a throw that gets pulled about, sat on and folded daily. The fringed edge is left loose and relaxed rather than bound, in keeping with the informal look of the weave. If you like the textured, tactile feel of this piece, it works well built up in layers with plainer cushions and blankets so the waffle does the talking.
