Wisley Herringbone Polyester Throw - Yellow

Description

Description
The Wisley throw is woven from 100% polyester in a herringbone pattern, the small chevron weave that gives the cloth its texture and a soft, broken zigzag across its face. It measures 130 x 180cm, a generous single-person size that reaches across a two-seater sofa or folds neatly over the arm of a chair.

Because it is polyester, this throw earns its place outdoors as readily as in. Take it to a picnic, drape it over a garden bench for an evening in the fresh air, or keep it on the sofa for cooler indoor days. The yellow sits happily against cream, natural wood and warm neutrals, so it works in a living room, a bedroom or on a patio without asking the rest of the scheme to change around it. It is a piece you can move from room to garden and back without much thought.

Polyester is the reason this throw copes with outdoor life: the fibre sheds water rather than soaking it up, so it dries quickly after a shower or a spill and holds its colour in the light. The herringbone weave is finished with a knotted fringe of tassels along the two short edges, seen clearly in the close-up, and a plainer cut fringe runs along the long sides. Fold it in thirds over a sofa back to show the tassels, or leave it loosely thrown for a more relaxed look.

Frequently Asked
Can I use this throw outdoors?

Yes. It is woven from polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that suits garden benches, picnics and patios as well as indoor sofas and beds.

What does the herringbone weave look like?

It is a small chevron pattern, here in yellow over a cream ground, giving the cloth a subtle broken zigzag texture across its whole face.

How big is it?

It measures 130 x 180cm, a good single size that covers a two-seater sofa, folds over a chair or drapes across the foot of a bed.

Does it have a fringe?

Yes. Each short end is finished with a knotted tasselled trim, and a cut fringe runs along the long edges, both.

Why polyester rather than a natural fibre?

Polyester sheds water rather than absorbing it, so the throw dries quickly outdoors and keeps its colour well in daylight, which suits garden use.

Is it soft to the touch?
