Reversible Cotton Fringe Throw

This is the throw for people who want a layer that looks like a design choice rather than a concession to the cold. Woven in cotton with a reversible pattern and a fringed tasselled edge, it gives you two looks from one blanket and finishes a bed or sofa the way a plain fleece never quite manages. Flip it over when you fancy a change and the room feels refreshed without buying anything new.

Cotton behaves very differently from synthetic throws. It breathes, so it warms you without the clammy feel that polyester develops after an hour, and it gets softer with every wash rather than flatter. That makes it the better choice for a bed, where you are under it for hours, or for a sofa in a room that already runs warm from central heating. It layers over a duvet without adding much weight.

Three sizes are available, from a generous sofa throw up to a cover that spans a double or king bed. Machine wash cool, then tumble on low or line dry, and give the tassels a shake and a quick comb through with your fingers so they sit straight again. Wash it separately the first time, as deeper shades of woven cotton can release a little dye.
