- Is the Timmy 741 warm enough for winter?
- It is a mid-weight wool throw, fine for sofa use and layering over a duvet. For cold bedrooms a heavier wool or cashmere blanket will hold more heat.
- What size is it?
- About 51 inches wide and 75 inches long. That is long enough to drape across a sofa or run across the foot of a queen or king bed.
- Can I machine wash it?
- Treat it as a wool piece: a cold wool cycle at most, and dry cleaning is the safer choice. Check the care label sewn to the blanket before washing.
- Is it soft against skin?
- The wool face is soft but still wool, so some people find it prickly on bare arms or legs. It is more comfortable over clothing or a sheet.
- Is it a good gift?
- Yes, if the recipient likes bold Italian design. The Missoni stripes are the draw; someone who prefers neutral, understated home textiles may not use it.
- How does it compare with other Missoni Home throws?
- The Timmy 741 is one of the larger striped wool throws. Smaller or lighter throws suit chairs and summer use; this one is better for beds and large sofas.
- Where is the Missoni Home Timmy 741 cheapest?
- At Missoni, for $640.00, as of our latest check.
