About the Chunky Knit Cotton Throw
Chunky knit throws are having a long moment for a reason: the stitch is big enough to read across a room, and a cotton yarn breathes in a way the acrylic versions do not. This one is hand-knitted in a thick cotton tube yarn at 100 × 150 cm — long enough to drape down the arm of a sofa or across the foot of a bed rather than sitting on it like a cushion. Cotton means it is a spring and autumn weight rather than a deep winter one. Wash it gently and dry it flat: a knit this open will stretch if you hang it wet.

Still deciding? What Size Throw Blanket Do You Need?
A throw blanket you intend to actually use should be at least 50 by 70 inches, which covers one adult lying on a sofa. Anything under 50 by 60 inches is a decorative drape rather than a blanket. For a three-seat sofa, one throw at 50 by 70 inches draped over an arm reads better than two small ones. Across the foot of a double or queen bed, look for 60 by 80 inches so it hangs evenly on both sides. For cushions, 45 by 45 cm is the standard square and an odd number on a sofa looks more natural than an even one.
Questions about the Chunky Knit Cotton Throw
Is it wool?
No. The supplier's title says woollen but its own specification lists the material as cotton, and cotton is what we sell it as. Cotton breathes better and is easier to wash; it is also less warm than wool for the same bulk.
How big is it?
100 × 150 cm. That drapes over the arm of a sofa or lies across the foot of a double bed. It is a throw rather than a blanket for sleeping under.
How do you wash a chunky knit?
Hand wash cool, or a gentle machine cycle inside a mesh laundry bag. Do not wring it, and dry it flat — the weight of water in an open knit will stretch it permanently if you hang it up.
Will it snag?
An open chunky stitch can catch on jewellery, claws and Velcro; that is true of every blanket knitted this way. If a loop pulls, ease it back through with a crochet hook rather than cutting it.
Is it warm?
Moderately. Cotton with an open stitch is a spring and autumn weight — it traps less air than a dense fleece or a wool blanket. In a cold room it works layered.
