- Is this throw warm enough for winter?
- Only for light use. The chunky open knit lets air through, so it works as a lap throw or styling piece, not a heavy winter blanket.
- Can it go in the washing machine?
- Hand-made chunky knits are best hand washed or washed on a gentle cycle in cold water and laid flat to dry. Agitation and heat can stretch or felt the yarn.
- Will it snag on pets or jewelry?
- Yes, the loose loops catch on claws, rings and zippers. Keep it away from cats that knead and check for pulls before they grow.
- What size is it?
- It measures 50 by 60 inches, a standard throw size. It covers a sofa back or the foot of a bed but not a full mattress.
- How does it compare with a chenille or fleece throw?
- It looks more textured and handmade but is less plush and less warm. Chenille and fleece feel softer and shed less, while this one is chosen for its knit look.
