Boutique Rugs names it Cheektowaga, lists it as hand woven and gives the blend as 70% cotton, 24% acrylic and 6% nylon. 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\u003eRust as a neutral.\u003c\/strong\u003e The red-brown stripes sit happily with gray, navy, olive and wood tones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree striped bands.\u003c\/strong\u003e Groups of rust lines cross the top, middle and bottom, so almost any fold shows color.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCotton with backup.\u003c\/strong\u003e The acrylic and nylon in the yarn add strength and color hold to a mostly cotton hand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere a Striped Throw Blanket Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA striped throw blanket looks best when its lines agree with something else in the room. Here the rust bands run across the width, so draped over the back of a sofa they sit parallel to the cushions, and folded over a footboard they echo the edge of the mattress. \u003cstrong\u003eLines that agree with the furniture make a room look finished\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is a lot of work for one blanket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe color does the rest. Rust is a warm middle tone, so on a cool gray sofa it adds heat, and next to cognac leather or walnut it looks like it came from the same family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Fold a Throw Blanket\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo fold a throw blanket for a shelf or a basket, halve it lengthwise first and then fold it into thirds across the width. With this one that leaves a neat 25 by 20 inch rectangle with a rust band on top. For a blanket ladder, skip the thirds: fold it in half lengthwise, hang it over a rung and let the fringe fall level at the bottom, the way it hangs in the ladder photo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it a shake before folding and smooth the fringe with your fingers so it all lies in one direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Acrylic and Nylon Add\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach fiber in the yarn has a job. Cotton, at 70%, gives the soft, dry feel against your skin. Acrylic holds dye well and barely shrinks, which helps the rust stay bright and the size stay true, and nylon is one of the strongest fibers used in textiles. Together they make \u003cstrong\u003ea throw you can use every evening without babying it\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRust Stripes Beside Your Sofa\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this throw 100% cotton?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, it is a cotton-rich blend. Cotton makes up most of the yarn, and the remaining 30% is acrylic and nylon, there for strength and color hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sofa color suits rust stripes?\u003c\/strong\u003e Gray, cream, navy and olive green all work. Gray and navy turn the rust into the accent, while cream and olive keep the whole corner warm and earthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a 50 by 60 throw cover two people?\u003c\/strong\u003e Snugly. Sixty inches across is enough for two people sitting close on a sofa, and one person can wrap it around their shoulders with room to spare.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boutique Rugs","offers":[{"title":"50\" x 60\" Rectangle","offer_id":67640180113709,"sku":"CHEE-5060","price":110.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/boutique-rugs-cream-rust-striped-throw-blanket-50x60-1.jpg?v=1791916547","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/cream-rust-striped-throw-blanket-50x60","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
