Throws, blankets, bedspreads, throw blankets are among the most common terms we use to define our home textile products. But what do we mean exactly when we use these terms?
Throws
Throws are small blankets and the most versatile among all. They are usually up to 150 x 200 cm in size and not much more. They are mainly for styling your living space be it your living room, bedroom or conservatory. They are ideal size to cover a sofa for keeping you warm as well as refreshing your home.
Cotton throws are perfectly adaptable to be used as beach/picnic blankets. They have the ability to stay sand-free, they are compact and easy to fold and carry in your handbag. Compared to their size, they are also quite lightweight which also means they will help you save a considerable amount of money on your electricity bill while washing and drying them.
Throws are also great to be used for a single or double bed-layering for a stylish look in your bedroom. Or wrap them around you while watching telly or put them across your knees to keep you cosy and warm. Additional ways of using these tactile fabrics include hanging them as a curtain or laying them across your table as a fantastic tablecloth. They are great gift items for all ages, less costly and more adaptable.
