Drift Striped Coral Fleece Throw

A thick coral fleece throw with a raised stripe, made for the months when the heating never quite reaches the sofa. It is deep-pile and heavy in the hand, the kind of blanket that stays where you put it instead of sliding off, and it holds warmth quickly once you are under it. Folded over the end of a bed it adds weight and texture to a room; spread across a couch it turns an evening into staying in.

The fleece is dense and brushed on both faces, with tonal stripes running through so it reads as fabric rather than a flat sheet of plush. Queen sizing covers a double or queen bed with enough overhang to tuck, and it works equally well as a bedspread or a generous sofa throw. Six colours are offered: Khaki, White, Dark Blue, Dark Gray, Pink and Green. The darker tones hide everyday use and the paler ones keep a bedroom light.

Use it as a winter bedspread, a couch throw for film nights, a layer over a reading chair or a spare blanket for guests. It sits well over linen and cotton bedding and pairs happily with knit cushions and wool rugs. Urban Arcadia stocks it for the colder half of the year, though plenty of customers keep it out in draughty rooms year-round. Machine wash cool on a gentle cycle and skip the fabric softener so the pile stays lofty.
