Boutique Rugs lists it as knitted from 100% cotton. It measures 50 by 60 inches, the size most stores sell as a standard throw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrid lines, not checks.\u003c\/strong\u003e Thin black lines on a cream ground keep it light where a full check would feel heavy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour weighted corners.\u003c\/strong\u003e A tassel at each corner pulls the knit straight, so it hangs square off a sofa arm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStretch from the knit.\u003c\/strong\u003e Knitted loops give a little, so it wraps around shoulders without stiff folds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnit Throw Blanket With a Grid\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA knit throw blanket is built from rows of interlocking loops, the same way a sweater is, while a woven throw crosses straight threads over and under each other. Loops give and threads do not. That is why this throw drapes and settles into the shape of a chair, and why it feels softer against the skin than a woven made from the same fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grid brings order to all that softness. Laid flat on a bed, the black lines look like an architect's sketch; draped on a gray sofa, as in the living room photo, \u003cstrong\u003ethe lines bend with every fold and make the throw the most graphic thing in the room\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWashing a Knit Blanket Well\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you wash a knit blanket, the drying matters more than the washing. Cotton loops relax and grow heavy when wet, so hanging a soaked knit by one edge pulls it out of shape. Dry it flat on a rack or a clean towel and press the grid lines straight with your hands while it is damp, and \u003cstrong\u003ethe squares dry square\u003c\/strong\u003e. Once it is dry, comb each tassel with your fingers from the top knot down so the strands fall loose again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlack and Cream at Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a black and cream throw work with wood furniture?\u003c\/strong\u003e Very well. The black lines pick up dark metal and iron, the cream sits with light oak, and the pair looks calm next to walnut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the tassels get in the way?\u003c\/strong\u003e They sit only at the four corners, so they hang over the edges of a sofa or bed rather than under you. They also make the throw easy to grab and pull up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a cotton knit throw warm enough for winter?\u003c\/strong\u003e For a living room, yes. Knitted loops trap a layer of still air, which is what keeps you warm, and cotton breathes, so you stay comfortable through a long movie instead of overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boutique Rugs","offers":[{"title":"50\" x 60\" Rectangle","offer_id":67640180048173,"sku":"SKOW-5060","price":158.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/boutique-rugs-cream-grid-knit-cotton-throw-blanket-50x60-1.jpg?v=1791916548","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/cream-grid-knit-cotton-throw-blanket-50x60","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
