Description
The Weaver throw is woven in a herringbone design, that fine chevron zig-zag that runs across the whole cloth and gives it a definite direction and a lot of visual texture. Ours comes in navy, a deep near-black blue shot through with paler flecks so the pattern reads as a soft, close weave rather than a flat block of colour. It measures 130 x 180cm, a generous single-throw size that will cover a seated adult from shoulder to foot or drape neatly along the back of a sofa. The trim is a row of twisted tassels along the short ends, a small hand-finished detail that stops the edge looking cut and gives the throw a relaxed, made-by-hand character.
This is the sort of throw that earns its place in almost any room. Folded over the arm of a chair in a living room, laid across the foot of a bed, or kept by a reading spot for the colder months, it works hard without asking much of the scheme around it. The navy sits comfortably with greys, creams and natural wood, and the herringbone texture adds interest to a plain sofa or a neutral bedroom without adding a loud print. It suits a relaxed, homely look, and the flecked weave means it does not show every mark the way a solid dark fabric can.
The throw is made from 100% acrylic, a fully synthetic fibre chosen here for a wool-like handle. Acrylic is naturally shrink resistant and holds its shape well through use, which makes it a practical choice for a piece that gets pulled about, sat on and washed. It is soft to the touch with a textured, slightly brushed finish that adds to the cosy feel. The twisted tassels are worth handling gently in the wash to keep them tidy. If you like the herringbone but want a different mood, the wider Weaver range runs through several earth-toned colourways alongside this navy.

Frequently Asked
Is this throw made of real wool?
No, it is 100% acrylic woven to feel wool-like, with a soft textured handle. It gives the look and warmth of a wool weave without being wool.
How big is the Weaver throw?
It measures 130 x 180cm, a generous single size that suits a sofa back, an armchair or the foot of a bed for one person.
Will it shrink in the wash?
Acrylic is naturally shrink resistant and holds its shape well, which is one of the reasons this fibre suits a throw that gets regular use and washing.
What are the tassels made of and how do I look after them?
The short ends carry twisted tassels in the same fabric. Handle them gently when washing and smooth them back into place afterwards to keep them neat.
What colours does the pattern read as?
This is a navy, a deep blue close to black, flecked with paler tones so the herringbone weave stands out rather than reading as one flat colour.
What can I use this throw for?
It works as a sofa throw, a bed runner or an extra layer by a reading chair, and the navy sits easily with grey, cream and natural wood.
