Chunky Knit Throw – the blanket that never gets folded away

A heavy knit in plain Nordic lines, made for daily use rather than display. It suits the arm of a couch, the end of a bed or a chair on the porch after sundown. The smaller size is about 50 x 68 in, the larger about 51 x 91 in.

Why choose this knit throw?

Texture does something to a room that a flat bedspread never manages. Air caught in the open stitches does the insulating, so warmth arrives without much weight. It moves between rooms and between seasons without much thought.

• Open stitch: traps a layer of air, which is why it feels warm for its weight.
• Size choice: the smaller one for an armchair, the larger across a double bed.
• Gentle surface: soft enough to pull up around bare shoulders.
• Plain pattern: reads as neutral next to furniture you already own.
• Durable yarn: keeps its shape through regular evenings on the couch.

Bought for the bedroom, found on the couch every night.

Over the backrest it also shields the upholstery from daily wear. Shake it out rather than pressing a hard fold, which keeps the stitches open. Cool wash, flat drying, and the edges keep their line.
