Description
The Weaver throw is woven in a herringbone design, that zigzagging chevron pattern that runs the length of the cloth and gives the fabric its texture as much as its look. The gold colourway here mixes warm amber and tan tones through a cream ground, so the surface reads as flecked rather than flat, and one edge carries a band of twisted tassels around 10cm long. It measures 130 x 180cm, a generous single-person size that drapes over a sofa arm or folds across the foot of a bed without overwhelming either.
This is a throw for the room you actually sit in. Over the back of a sofa it softens a hard line and adds a layer to reach for on a cold evening; laid across an armchair it gives a plain seat something to look at. The gold sits happily with earthy, neutral schemes: wood furniture, cream walls, warm-toned rooms. It is one of a range of earth-toned colourways, so if gold is not your ground colour there are grey, rust, teal and navy versions of the same herringbone weave to consider.
The fabric is 100% acrylic, woven to imitate the handle and loft of wool while staying shrink resistant, which matters on a piece you will wash and reuse through a season. Acrylic is a hard-wearing synthetic that holds colour well and does not felt or shrink the way wool can, so it forgives regular use. The twisted tassels are worth handling gently in the wash and smoothing straight afterwards so they hang cleanly. Fold it over a bench or a blanket ladder when it is not in use and the herringbone shows to its best.

Frequently Asked
Is this throw actually made of wool?
No, it is 100% acrylic woven to look and feel wool-like. It gives you the loft and texture of wool while staying shrink resistant and easy to live with.
How big is the Weaver throw?
It measures 130 x 180cm, which is a good size for draping over a two or three seater sofa, an armchair, or the foot of a bed for an extra layer.
What are the tassels like?
The throw is finished with twisted tassels around 10cm long along one edge. Smooth them straight after washing so they dry evenly and hang cleanly.
Does it come in other colours?
Yes, the same herringbone weave is offered in a range of earth-toned colourways including grey, rust, teal and navy, so you can match it to your room.
Will it shrink?
Acrylic is shrink resistant and holds its colour well, so this throw stands up to regular use better than many natural-fibre alternatives without felting.
