Blankets, Throws & Quilts

Different materials bring different qualities to a throw - so it all comes down to personal preference and how you plan on using your throw. 

• Cotton, for example, is commonly used due to its softening quality after multiple washes.
• Linen is highly effective during warmer seasons thanks to its ability to repel moisture.
• Velvet provides a softer feel and helps your throw hold vibrant tones or darker shades well.
• Wool’s main selling quality is the warmth it provides, while being naturally hypoallergenic and resisting mould and bacterial growth.

Many of our throws and blankets utilise a blend of natural fibres to reap the benefits of multiple materials.

Depending on the size of your sofa and your desired look, there are some standard recommendations for what size blanket or throw you should be looking for. If you have a 2-seater sofa, you'll typically need a throw or blanket between 150 - 220cm. For larger three-seater or corner sofas, 200 - 260cm is an adequate size.If you have a 2-seater sofa, you'll typically need a throw or blanket between 150 - 220cm.

The wash temperature indicated on the care label of each of our throws represents the maximum temperature the blanket can tolerate; but washing at a lower temperature can help conserve energy. Always follow the care instructions on your individual product’s labelling. The fabric will naturally soften with each wash, but if desired, a gentle fabric softener can be used occasionally. We recommend line drying for best results or tumble drying low and removing promptly.

Yes, some natural fibres (mainly wool) do shed when new, as they release loose surface fibres left over from the weaving process. After the first few washes, this should stop. To reduce shedding, ensure you wash your blanket or throw on a gentle setting, air dry flat, and use a fabric shaver or wool comb sparingly to remove loose fibre and pills.
