Lowen Wool Plain Polyester Throw - Berry & Cotta

Description

DescriptionThe Lowen throw is a brushed wool-blend blanket made from 10% wool and 90% polyester, finished with a plain body, a hand-worked blanket-stitch trim and jumbo corner tassels. It measures 130 x 170cm, a generous single-throw size that reads as more than a sofa dressing. The body is a deep berry red, and the stitching and tassels are worked in a soft dusky pink the supplier calls cotta, so the trim stands clearly against the ground rather than blending into it.
This is a throw for the living room first: draped over the arm of a sofa, folded across the foot of a bed, or pulled around your shoulders on a cold evening. At 130 x 170cm it covers one person comfortably and layers well over a two-seater or a reading chair. The berry ground sits happily against warm neutrals, deeper reds and dusky pinks, and the pink blanket stitch gives you an easy colour to pick up in cushions or a lampshade. It suits a relaxed, textured room rather than a stark one.
The wool in the blend brings warmth and a soft brushed handle, while the higher polyester content keeps the weight manageable and the price sensible. The blanket-stitch edge is the detail to notice up close: it runs as a decorative border on all sides and is what gives the piece its traditional, made-by-hand character, while the four corner tassels add movement and a little weight to the corners. It is a piece meant to be used and lived with, so treat it gently and it will keep its brushed surface and its tassels intact.

Frequently AskedWhat is this throw made from?
It is a wool blend, 10% wool to 90% polyester, brushed for a soft handle. The wool brings warmth while the polyester keeps the weight and cost down.
How big is it and who does it suit?
It measures 130 x 170cm, which covers one person comfortably and layers well over a two-seater sofa, an armchair or the foot of a bed.
What are the tassels and the stitched edge?
All four corners carry jumbo tassels, and a decorative blanket stitch runs as a border around the edges, giving the throw its traditional, hand-finished look.
What colour is it really?
The body is a deep berry red and the stitching and tassels are a dusky pink, so the trim reads clearly against the darker ground rather than disappearing into it.
Is wool warmer than an all-synthetic throw?
Wool holds warmth well and breathes, so a wool-blend throw tends to feel cosier and less clammy than a purely synthetic one over a long evening.
