Dessa Geometric Polyester Throw - Cobalt

Description

Description
The Dessa throw is woven from 100% polyester in a small-scale geometric pattern, rows of concentric diamonds picked out in cobalt blue against a paler ground. It measures 130 x 180cm, which is a generous single-person size: long enough to cover you head to toe on a sofa and wide enough to drape across the foot of a double bed without slipping off. A row of knotted white fringing finishes each short end, the tassels sitting in loose bundles rather than a tight cut edge.

Polyester is the reason this throw earns its indoor and outdoor billing. Unlike a natural fibre, it does not soak up and hold water, so a shower on a garden bench or a damp evening on the patio will not leave it heavy or slow to recover. Use it the way you would any throw: over the arm of a chair in the living room, folded on a bed, or carried out to a garden gathering or the beach and shaken off at the end of the day. The diamond weave gives it enough texture to sit well against plain upholstery and plain walls.

The design is woven into the cloth rather than printed on top, which is why the pattern reads the same on both faces and will not wear away with use. The white fringe is the detail to handle with a little care, as knotted tassels are the part of any throw most likely to snag or tangle. The supplier states the fabric dries quickly, a natural consequence of the polyester it is made from, so it takes wet-weather use in its stride. Cobalt is a strong, saturated blue that holds its own next to neutrals and pairs readily with white, cream and natural wood.

Frequently Asked
Can I really use this throw outdoors?

Yes. It is made from 100% polyester, which does not absorb water the way natural fibres do, so it copes with a garden bench, a patio or a trip to the beach.

Does the pattern show on both sides?

Yes. The geometric diamond design is woven into the cloth rather than printed on the surface, so it reads on both faces and will not wear away with use.

How big is it and what does it suit?

It measures 130 x 180cm, a generous size for one person on a sofa or draped across the foot of a double bed.

Is the fringe likely to tangle?

The knotted white tassels are the part most likely to snag, so handle them gently and comb them straight with your fingers if they bunch up.

What colour is it?

It is cobalt, a strong saturated blue, with the diamond pattern picked out against a paler tone and finished with white fringing.
